Let's listen to the details through a reporter from the legal team at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Reporter Kwon Junsu!

President Yoon, you were investigated late into the night?

[Reporter]
Yes, the investigation into President Yoon, which began at 7 o'clock after dinner, ended at 9:40 a.m. just now.

It lasted more than two and a half hours, and the evening investigation also found that he refused to make a statement.

Since this morning, President Yoon has been exercising his right to remain silent.

It has been confirmed that Cha Jung-hyun, a senior prosecutor who has been in charge of the investigation since late afternoon, conducted the evening investigation as it was.

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon, who arrived at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in a bodyguard vehicle, moved to the bodyguard vehicle after completing the investigation.President Yun

is expected to wait in the suspect's living room, which is actually a solitary cell of around 3 pyeong.

If an arrest warrant is not requested or the warrant is rejected, President Yoon will be immediately released and investigated without detention.

An official from the Ministry of Justice said that they will follow the usual procedures and explained that the president does not use a spacious room or give any other preferential treatment.

President Yoon has requested an arrest investigation?

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the position that came right after the investigation of President Yoon was completed.President

Yoon said he has filed an arrest investigation with the Seoul Central District Court.

At a press conference in the afternoon, he said that the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was clearly illegal, but he changed his position.

It is also noteworthy that the Central District Court requested an arrest warrant to the Central District Court, not the Western District Court, where the arrest warrant was issued.

It is expected to continue the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the request for a warrant at the Western District Court, and the claim that the execution of an arrest warrant is illegal.

As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has secured recruits with difficulty, it is expected to continue the investigation tomorrow.

If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit judges, the Seoul Detention Center will call President Yoon again.

Intensive investigations are expected to continue to check all of the more than 200 pages of questionnaires within 48 hours of the arrest deadline.

Earlier, President Yoon explained that it is difficult for him to attend the second hearing of the impeachment trial scheduled tomorrow.
