It is the second day since the president of Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested by a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office on charges of rebellion.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was planning to call President Yoon back to investigate this afternoon, but the president expressed his intention not to attend.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Taewon!

President Yoon expressed his intention not to attend the afternoon investigation?

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the news just now.

The President has indicated that he will not appear in the investigation this afternoon.

I've said enough in yesterday's investigation.

Initially, the high-ranking government official's crime investigation office planned to call President Yoon back as a suspect from 2 p.m. today.

President Yoon reportedly requested a postponement of the investigation due to health problems, although he notified him of his attendance this morning.

This time, he expressed his intention not to attend at all.

In this regard, the position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has not yet come out.

Yesterday's investigation also refused to make a statement, didn't it?

[Reporter]
Yes, for this investigation, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit prepared a 200-page questionnaire, but it is difficult to secure meaningful statements as President Yoon exercised his right to remain silent.It is reported that President

Yoon did not even say that he would refuse to make a statement throughout the investigation yesterday.President

Yoon made some remarks, but it is known that they have nothing to do with the contents of the newspaper.After completing the investigation, President Yun

did not read the newspaper report, seal, or seal it.

Although the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is illegal, it seems to be an extension of the existing position that he attended the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to prevent bloods

In addition, it is interpreted as a strategy not to give the suspect an excuse to use as a basis for guilt as the evidence is not valid.

However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit believes that it is not unreasonable to prove the charges regardless of whether they make a statement or not.

After completing the second investigation, it is expected to request an arrest warrant for President Yoon as early as today.

Do you think the schedule of the interrogation of the arrest suit requested by President Yoon to the court could also be a variable?

[Reporter]
President Yoon said he filed an arrest suit with the Seoul Central District Court shortly after the investigation yesterday.

The arrest suitability is a system in which the court re-judges whether the arrest of an investigative agency is legitimate and asks for release, and the court must make a decision within 48 hours.

Following the refusal of the statement, the court said it would fight the illegality of the arrest, which is interpreted as the purpose of confirming the court's claim that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate rebellion.

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

As the arrest warrant issued by the Western District Court, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, has continued to claim that it is invalid,
It is interpreted as a strategy to move the legal battlefield to the
Seoul Central District Court.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit must request an arrest warrant within 48 hours from the time of arrest, and the interrogation process can be a variable in the investigation as it excludes the time taken during the arrest investigation.

The Seoul Central District Court plans to designate an interrogation date soon.
As a result of
, it is unlikely that there will be a setback in the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's plan to seek an arrest warrant today.

So far, I'm Kim Tae-won of YTN at the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
