The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is struggling at the last minute ahead of the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The president decided not to appear on the first day of the impeachment trial, saying he could not guarantee safety as long as the arrest warrant attempt continued.

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

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

The timing of the 2nd warrant execution by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, have some strands been caught?

[Reporter]
It has been six days since the arrest warrant was reissued, but no movement has been detected since dawn.

Regardless of the re-execution of the warrant, most of the investigation teams are preparing for the presidential investigation by going to work today, which is a holiday.

In addition, senior officials such as Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Officer Oh Dong-un also reportedly came to the government building to discuss the timing and method of execution.

There is a glimpse of a willingness not to fail in the second execution attempt, with an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explaining that more manpower will be put into the re-execution than in the first attempt.

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.

While re-executing the president's arrest warrant, it is mentioned that the leadership, including Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, will arrest him to neutralize the resistance of the security service.

In the end, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is also expected to confirm the timing in line with the speed of the police's investigation, but it is also expected that it will be re-executed as early as this week.

In light of this situation, the president announced that he would not attend the impeachment trial scheduled the day after tomorrow?

[Reporter]
Yes, just a moment ago, Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon, said that he cannot guarantee his personal safety and that he is concerned about a mishap.

He added that it is not safe because the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police are trying to re-execute arrest warrants, and that he will be present at any time when the problem is resolved.

Earlier, the Constitutional Court decided to hold a total of five trials by the 16th, 21st, 23rd, and 4th of next month after starting its first hearing on the 14th.

Depending on the president's absence, the first hearing date is likely to remain idle, and full-fledged procedures such as evidence investigation are expected to begin on the 16th.
