There is an analysis that the re-execution of the arrest warrant is imminent, so how is the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit preparing?
[Reporter]
Yes, it's been almost a week since the second arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was issued.
Today, we have been looking at the situation in front of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit since early dawn, but the vehicle is parked as it is, and there is no special movement.
However, it seems clear that the second execution of the arrest warrant is imminent.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also focused on discussing enforcement plans with police, including legal review, yesterday, a holiday.
As we are being cautious, it is reported that the size of the manpower to be put into execution continues to change.

The Joint Investigation Headquarters is also continuing measures to undermine the solidarity of the Presidential Security Service, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, first of all, the police are raising the level of pressure by continuing their investigation into the command of the Presidential Security Service, including Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon and Director Lee Kwang-woo.

injuries, we will also file a lawsuit for damages.
However, the plan is to ensure that employees of the security service are not punished even if they are accused of dereliction of their duties in defiance of the superior order to resist the execution of the warrant.

President Yoon is still in a position that an arrest warrant should not be executed, especially against the mobilization of police forces?
[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's lawyers said in a statement today that there is no legal basis for the police to execute the warrant.
In particular, he argued that it is also an act of forgetting responsibility to put the front-line police, who are supposed to protect public security, and the investigation team, which is supposed to wipe out drug crimes, into the arrest operation.
He added that public officials participating in the execution of illegal warrants should disclose their faces, and that they will also have to take legal responsibility for graft assault if they assault officials at the security service.
The lawyers have already said that the president has expressed his position through statements, and continue to argue that if further investigation is needed, the Seoul Central District Court should seek an arrest warrant or indict him.
However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit reiterated its willingness to execute the arrest warrant, saying that the validity of the arrest warrant has not disappeared.
So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
