The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office continues to struggle ahead of the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

As the police investigation into former and current officials of the Security Service has accelerated, it is highly likely that the execution will take place within this week.

I'm connecting with the reporter, reporter Kim Cheol-hee!

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

The second warrant of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, hasn't been executed yet, has it?

[Reporter]
The Seoul Western District Court reissued the president's arrest warrant on the 7th, so today is the sixth day.

I've been watching the airlift since dawn, but I haven't detected any special movements yet.

In the case of the first arrest warrant, it is much more cautious compared to the execution three days after the issuance.

As the aftermath of the failure was fierce, it is expected to begin re-enforcement after weighing the timing and method of enforcement sufficiently.

For success, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is also paying more attention to the security of related contents, such as the specific execution timing and the expiration date of the warrant.

[Anchor]
Then, when will the arrest warrant be re-executed?

[Reporter]
The validity period of this arrest warrant is known to be about two weeks.

The biggest consideration of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in setting the timing seems to be the Presidential Security Service.

At the time of the first execution, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that the resistance of the security service was stronger than expected and that it withdrew due to safety concerns.

The police, who set up a joint investigation headquarters with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, have since booked former and current officials of the security service and accelerated their summoning investigation.

In particular, Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, who became acting Chief of Security due to the resignation of former Chief of Security Park Jong-joon, refused to comply with the third request for attendance.

There is a possibility of issuing an arrest warrant for Deputy Chief Kim.

For this reason, after re-executing the president's arrest warrant within this week, the plan to arrest Deputy Chief Kim and neutralize the resistance of the security service is also discussed.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee of YTN at the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
