President Yoon was transferred from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to the detention center, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is suspected of being the head of the civil war, was detained here at Seoul Detention Center after completing the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at around 9:40 p.m.

At about 7:50 p.m., the security bus first entered the detention center,
It was
and the vehicle that President Yoon is believed to have been in and the bodyguard headed into the detention center at around 9:50 p.m.

At around 10:33 a.m. today, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which executed an arrest warrant at the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, escorted President Yoon to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit building in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, and began investigating the suspect from 11 a.m.

After dinner, the investigation continued from 7 p.m. and completed the investigation of President Yoon at around 9:40 p.m.

Although the investigation was conducted for more than 10 hours, President Yoon reportedly refused to give any answers and refused to make a statement.
The suspect arrested
can conduct a late-night investigation without consent, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit seems to have decided that it is not necessary to conduct an overnight investigation as President Yoon is exercising his right to remain silent.

What's your future schedule?

[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit must decide whether to request an arrest warrant by 10:33 a.m. the day after, 48 hours from the time of President Yoon's arrest.

As there is not much time left until tomorrow, the investigation is expected to continue as early as the morning,

However, it is unclear whether President Yoon will respond to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit again after he is imprisoned in a detention center.

Also, I am interested in which court to request an arrest warrant.This is because President Yoon

has always insisted that the warrant issued by the Western District Court is illegal.

However, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that they usually file a claim with the place where the arrest warrant was issued, and it is expected that they will actually file a claim with the Seoul Western District Court.If an arrest warrant is issued for President

Yoon, the correctional authorities are expected to provide a space for detention by referring to the cases of former Presidents Kim Park Geun Hye and Kim Lee Myung Bak.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
