The Joint Investigation Headquarters, which investigates the emergency martial law case, requested an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol again yesterday (6th).President
Yoon repeatedly refuted the need for arrest, but the government plans to start working-level consultations when the warrant is issued.
For more information, I'm connecting with an on-site reporter to find out. Reporter Lee Kyung-guk!

Yes, it's a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

Yesterday, the Joint Investigation Headquarters requested an arrest warrant for President Yoon again to extend the deadline, but the court has yet to make a decision, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the court's decision has not yet been made on the arrest warrant for President Yoon, which was re-claimed by the Dong-A Ilbo to the Seoul Western District Court.
As the warrant was re-claimed yesterday evening, it has not been confirmed whether the judge on duty hears it or the warrant-only court hears it.
Considering the importance of the matter, it is highly likely that the warrant-only court will take over, with two senior judges, Lee Soon-hyung and Shin Han-mi, in the Western District Court's warrant-only court.
There is a possibility that Shin Han-mi, a senior judge, will be in charge of it, not Lee Soon-hyung, who issued the first arrest warrant to further ensure fairness.
If a warrant is issued, the Joint Investigation Headquarters is expected to speed up preparations for the execution of the second warrant.
It has been confirmed that President Yoon's side has again issued an opinion to the court that there is no need for arrest,
If the court accepts this and the warrant is rejected, great confusion will be inevitable.

When the warrant is issued, the government is going to start preparing right away, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is that it will not be difficult to issue a warrant.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that once the warrant is issued, we will start full-fledged working-level consultations with the police.
It is expected to discuss when and how to execute the second execution when issuing a warrant.
In particular, there was strong resistance from the security and military during the first execution on the 3rd,
Since the security of Hannam-dong's official residence has become stricter since
, measures to increase the number of personnel are expected to be considered.

Yesterday, the Dong-A Ilbo announced that it was difficult to confirm the validity of the warrant, announcing the request for an arrest warrant again.
What does it mean?
[Reporter]
As you said, yesterday, the Cooperation Agency announced that it is difficult to confirm the validity of the arrest warrant for President Yoon, which was requested again.
When the first arrest warrant was issued on the 31st of last month, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit immediately disclosed the validity of the warrant.
Since then, the execution of the warrant has been blocked by strong opposition, and the rally continued in front of the Hannam-dong residence until yesterday, the last day of the expiration date.
In the end, not confirming the expiration date this time is interpreted as the "smuggling" of the execution of the second arrest warrant, that is, to further strengthen investigation security.
So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
