Reporter Jang A-young, the police didn't arrest Park Jong-joon, the former chief of security.

[Reporter]
Yes, contrary to what was originally expected, no emergency arrest was made.

Park Jong-joon, former head of the National Security Agency, returned home after being investigated by the National Police Agency's special investigation team as a suspect for obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

It's been 13 hours since I attended the police at around 10 a.m.

After completing the investigation, Park met with reporters and said he tried to do his best to be as sincere as possible in the investigation of the investigative agency and explained it in detail, and did not answer other questions.

Initially, the special team considered urgently arresting former Minister Park after investigating him, but
It is reported that former Chief Park
submitted his resignation prior to police appearance and decided that there was no need for an unreasonable investigation as he lost his current status while being repaired during the investigation.

In addition, it seems to have taken into account the fact that he voluntarily attended and cooperated with the investigation.

The police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's plan to secure the former Chief Park's whereabouts and execute the second arrest warrant is also expected to be disrupted, right?

[Reporter]
It's hard to say there's no hit.

Earlier on the 3rd, shortly after the execution of the first arrest warrant for President Yoon failed, the special police team booked four senior members of the security service, including former Chief Park and Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, and launched an investigation.

At the time, more than 200 people formed a human chain and systematically interfered with the execution of the warrant,
The police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's plan was to destroy the command system and open the official residence by securing recruits through forced investigations of superiors of the security service ahead of the execution of the second warrant
.

In fact, Park refused to attend the police twice before, and was in the process of applying for an arrest warrant if he did not appear in today's investigation,
Contrary to the expectation of
, the plan was twisted as former Chief Park voluntarily attended the police.In addition to

, he even resigned before attending, and during the investigation, acting president Choi Sang-mok accepted his resignation letter, losing his current status.

Therefore, the real benefit of arresting former Minister Park by force disappeared, but the possibility of applying for a preliminary arrest warrant was reportedly left open.The investigation will continue in light of the fact that the security department, led by former Chief Park

, interfered with the first warrant execution process and secured a large number of circumstances to prove the charge of obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

In addition, former Minister Park is also subject to investigation on whether he was involved in the martial law process while being booked on charges of rebellion.
