President Park Yoon Suk Yeol, who is suspected of being a "civil war mob," will be investigated in a separate space in the 5th building of the government building in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do.
The investigation room is the size of a general inspection room and is complete with video recording equipment.
If the suspect, President Yoon, agrees, the investigation process can be recorded in video and audio from beginning to end.
Former President Park Geun Hye refused to record the video,
Former President Lee Myung Bak
agreed and was used as evidence in court.
Inside the investigation room, lawyers such as President Yoon and lawyers Kim Hong-il and Yoon Gap-geun are located,
On the other side of
, Lee Jae-seung, deputy head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, Lee Dae-hwan, and Cha Jung-hyun, chief prosecutor, will conduct the investigation based on the 200-page questionnaire.During the former President
Park, former Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok and then Senior Prosecutor Han Woong-jae, who were the Special Director of the Central District Prosecutors' Office at the time, alternately participated in the investigation.
Across the video survey room, there is also a similar-sized rest area.
This space has a sofa, a simple table, drinks, and more.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will consider whether to seek an arrest warrant within 48 hours of the arrest of President Yoon.
If President Yoon is reviewed for an arrest warrant, he will wait for the results at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Whether or not to request an arrest warrant is expected to be the biggest variable in how President Yoon will deal with the investigation process.
