The prosecution, police, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit have been competing to investigate President Yoon Suk Yeol's rebellion, adding to the confusion.

It is pointed out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which took the initiative, wasted time while not being able to do this or that due to President Yoon's non-cooperation.

The prosecution, police, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which received complaints related to emergency martial law, formed a special investigation headquarters, a special investigation team, and a TF, respectively, and entered the investigation competitively.

As the prosecution took the lead by urgently arresting the key suspect, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, the police seized and searched his home and secured evidence,
The
arraignment office was in trouble from the beginning, requesting a search warrant and being dismissed by the court on the grounds of duplicate claims.

In some cases, officials such as Special Forces Commander Kwak Jong-geun and former NIS 1 Deputy Chief Hong Jang-won were investigated by both the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution.

There were even concerns that there would be an "investigation agency shopping" in which President Yoon, the "peak" of the situation, chooses his own place to be investigated.The prosecution, which has secured all the recruits of the

Commander of the martial law army, first asked President Yoon to appear twice, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff also notified him of the summons.

After the controversy, the prosecution agreed with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to hand over President Yoon's case, and some of the concerns over the overlapping investigation were resolved.

However, for the first time ever, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which was confident of proving the charges by issuing an arrest warrant for the incumbent president,
In the face of the
Security Department's blocking, he failed to face President Yoon and lost face by failing to execute the warrant.

Since then, there has been a skit in which he said he would entrust the police with the execution of the warrant, but reversed his position by refusing the police.

Investigative agencies have been enthusiastic about the competition since the beginning, but for a month, President Yoon has been passing by without even investigating.
