The Airborne, the Security, and the Defense Department are under pressure... to "cooperate with the arrest."

The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office has sent a virtually warning letter to the Presidential Security Service and the Ministry of National Defense to cooperate with the execution of arrest warrants.

Amid speculation that there will be a second warrant execution as early as this week, it seems to be putting pressure on all sides.

I'm connecting with the on-site reporter, reporter Kim Da-hyun!

What did the official letter from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to the Presidential Security Service say?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter to the heads of the Presidential Security Service last night (12th) asking for cooperation in the execution of arrest warrants.

First of all, if you interfere with the execution, you can be punished for obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

As confirmed by YTN coverage, it also contains the fact that it can be liable for civil damages caused by illegal activities.

It also included that there could be disadvantages such as loss of civil service qualifications, re-employment restrictions, and pension receipt restrictions.

However, in the case of general security officials, he stressed that even if they do not comply with the order to prevent execution, there will be no damage, such as the establishment of a crime of dereliction of duty.

It seems to be a warning measure to pressure the command of the security service and shake internal solidarity at the same time.

You asked the Ministry of Defense to cooperate in the same way, didn't you?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also sent an official letter to the Ministry of National Defense.

If military personnel, such as the 33rd Military Police Force and the 55th Guard Corps sent to the Security Service, interfere with the execution of the warrant, they can be punished in the same way.

He also emphasized that if human and material damage occurs, state compensation can be claimed.

In an official letter, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked the Ministry of National Defense to take measures in advance to prevent such a situation.

Amid the observation that the second round of execution is imminent, the government seems to be putting pressure on the personnel guarding the residence in all directions.

President Yoon is still opposed to the execution of the warrant, especially strongly against the mobilization of police forces?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's lawyers said in a statement today that the police have no legal basis to execute the warrant, and that it is forgetting their responsibility to put an investigation team to arrest them to wipe out drug crimes.

He added that public officials participating in the execution should disclose their faces, adding that they will also have to take legal responsibility if they assault officials from the security service.

In addition, in an additional statement, the acting Minister of Public Administration and Security Ko Ki-dong said that the police should be instructed not to follow the investigation command of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit without legal grounds.

At the same time, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, a legal adviser, said on social media that if arrested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, he would have to answer a unilateral newspaper, and that the president would be free to express his views in the impeachment trial court.
