The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is continuing the discussion for the second round of execution?
[Reporter]
Yes, in order to make up for the last execution failure, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is considering specific measures.
It is reported that they are analyzing videos taken at the scene during the first execution and are also aware of additional countermeasures from the presidential security, such as installing barbed wire.
At the same time, working-level consultations are continuing with the police.
However, the timing of execution is still silent.
Considering the possibility of clashes with supporters in front of the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, and the violent blocking of the security service, the possibility of execution at night or on weekends is also open.

President Yoon's position is that he cannot continue to comply with the execution of the warrant, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon continues to insist that the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is illegal.
It maintains that it cannot comply with the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
At a press conference yesterday (8th), he rather asked the Seoul Central District Court to seek a preliminary arrest warrant or indict him without detention, and said he would comply with the procedures.
Some in the legal community seem to have decided that it is better to avoid exposure to the scene of arrest as much as possible and attend court than investigative agencies.As President
Yoon's side is holding a meeting with foreign reporters today, we will deliver it again when additional positions are confirmed.

What is the deadline for this arrest warrant? Last time it was a week, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is still putting the validity of this warrant in a "top-secret" manner.
It is a marked difference from the first warrant issued when it was disclosed that the validity period was a week.
As criticism poured out after one failed execution, it is focusing on maintaining investigation security for successful execution.
The validity period of an arrest warrant is usually seven days, but if the judge admits it, it is possible to have more than that, so it is observed that a longer period of time has been secured.
So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
