Yoon Suk Yeol's president said that the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is clearly illegal, but he does not consider arrest suitability.Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President

Yoon, held a press conference in front of the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office this afternoon (15th), saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit entered the official residence violently from dawn, and that he made a voluntary decision to attend early to prevent mishaps during clashes with the security service.

He also explained that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit forced him to attend under the guise of execution of the warrant, and that it is difficult for the president to attend the second hearing of the impeachment trial scheduled for tomorrow (16th).

It is a clear violation of the law for the Airborne Division to seek a warrant from the Seoul Western District Court in connection with the president's case, which does not have the authority to prosecute.
