Official letters to the Airborne Service, the Security Service, and the Ministry of Defense..."Punishment for obstructing the execution of special public affairs"

Amid the imminent execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, the High-Level Civil Servants Crime Bureau has sent an official letter to the Security Agency and the Ministry of National Defense asking for cooperation.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said last night it sent an official letter to six department heads under the security service stating that they could be punished for obstructing the execution of special public affairs if they obstructed the lawful execution of arrest warrants.

The official letter also said there could be disadvantages, including the loss of civil service status or restrictions on receiving pensions, and called for thorough management to avoid mobilizing members or providing equipment for tasks that are not unique to the department.

In particular, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit stressed that there will be no damage from failure to comply with the illegal order to prevent the execution of arrest warrants.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also sent an official letter similar to the Ministry of National Defense, explaining that if human and material damages occur during the execution of the warrant, they may be held civilly responsible, including a national compensation claim.
