Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyers maintained their existing position, saying they had no plans to coordinate visit investigations.The

high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is also preparing to execute a second arrest warrant without officially responding.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter, reporter Kim Chul-hee!

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

First of all, how did you react to President Yoon's lawyers and Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk's statement?

[Reporter]
Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon, said, "There is nothing discussed" about the position of Director Jeong Jin-seok.

Director Jeong said that he could coordinate a third place or a visit investigation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, but

You have made it clear that there are no such plans at this time.

The lawyers said they accept Chung's proposal to the extent that he has proposed various measures to prevent physical conflicts, and that they remain unchanged in their position to give up arrest and seek a preliminary arrest warrant or immediately prosecute him.

Has the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also issued a position regarding the Chief of Staff's appeal?

[Reporter]
First of all, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is in a position that it will not respond to the statement.

So far, the president's lawyers have not expressed their opinions on the investigation method to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

As President Yoon previously refused to comply with the past three requests for attendance by the Joint Investigation Headquarters, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is not in a situation where a third place or visit investigation can be considered.

[Anchor]
So the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to re-enforce the arrest warrant as planned?

[Reporter]
Yes, as there is no particular change at this time, it seems that the focus will be on executing the arrest warrant issued.

Currently, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is focusing on avoiding armed conflict in the execution process.

In this regard, he sent an official letter to the Ministry of National Defense and the Presidential Security Service, saying, "If you block the execution, you will be held responsible for civil and criminal matters, and if you cooperate, you will be lenient."

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also met with reporters today and reaffirmed the existing position that the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon will proceed according to the procedure.

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