President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was arrested on charges of leading a rebellion, was found to refuse to make a statement in an investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Let's listen in detail through a reporter from the legal team at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

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

President Yoon's investigation is still underway, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon, who finished his meal by 7 p.m., is being investigated again.

The afternoon investigation was conducted by senior prosecutor Lee Dae-hwan and senior prosecutor Cha Jung-hyun of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that President Yoon continued to refuse to make statements during the afternoon investigation, but it is expected that he will be using the right to remain silent in the evening investigation.President

Yoon is being investigated in an investigation room where video recording is possible, but he is not recording because President Yoon refused.

It has not yet been decided whether they will be investigated late at night after 9 p.m.President Yoon

will be detained at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province, after completing his investigation today.

The legal profession believes that they will seek an arrest warrant in time for the 48-hour arrest deadline.

I'm interested in which court to go to.This is because President

Yoon's side has always insisted that the warrant issued by the Western District Court is illegal.

However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it usually requests the place where the arrest warrant was issued, so it is expected to request an arrest warrant from the Seoul Western District Court.

Things have been going fast all day, so let's take a look at the president's arrest process again.

[Reporter]
Yes, the Joint Investigation Headquarters said it executed an arrest warrant for President Yoon at 10:33 a.m. today.

For the first time in constitutional history, an incumbent president has been arrested.

Later, around 10:53 p.m., a security guard vehicle with President Yoon arrived at the airlift.

The back of President Yoon getting out of the car and entering the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit building was also captured by reporters' cameras.

The president's vehicle also went into the screen, so it was not seen properly.

It seems that the intention was to minimize exposure, but it was not determined whether it was due to security issues or the impact on public opinion.

After the arrest, the president also expressed his position.

[Reporter]
Yes, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who claimed to be a legal advisor, held a press conference in front of the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office,
Unlike the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which emphasized the immediate 'execution of arrest warrants' for
, he intentionally avoided the word 'arrested'.

The president expressed that he was voluntarily present, but he argues that the arrest was carried out without conflict because of the president's decision.

In the background, he said he made the decision because he was worried about citizens and security officials.

However, he said that the execution of an arrest warrant is clearly illegal, but he does not consider arrest suitability,
The president explained that it is difficult for him to attend the second hearing of the impeachment trial scheduled for tomorrow
.

Arrest warrants have been issued, but the president's supporters are continuing to protest, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's late in the evening, but supporters of President Yoon continue to rally in front of the main gate of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

It seems that the supporters of the president who gathered in front of the Hannam-dong residence moved to Gwacheon.

They are waving American flags on the road right in front of the government building.

The entrance to the Gwacheon Government Complex is currently closed due to the impact of the rally, while the police are also using buses to build a wall and prepare for an emergency.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
