It has been confirmed that President Yoon Suk Yeol made a statement yesterday to the effect that the declaration of martial law is the president's authority.The arrest suit filed by President Yoon
was held at 5 p.m. today.
Let's connect with the reporter and listen to the contents. Reporter Kim Taewon! President
Yoon said he would not appear in the investigation this afternoon, but what is the position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit?
[Reporter]
Earlier, it was known that President Yoon coordinated the schedule with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit through a 2 p.m. investigation for health reasons.
However, since then, President Yoon has confirmed that he will not come out at all, saying that there is nothing more to be investigated since he fully stated his position yesterday.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit met with reporters a while ago and explained the situation so far.
He said today that nothing has officially come from President Yoon's side regarding the investigation.
As the arrested suspect, it is legally possible to bring him in and investigate him, but he said he would check additional regulations.
In addition, going to the detention center and investigating it yourself may be an alternative, but the official explained that it is difficult to say at this stage.

President Yoon reportedly used the right to remain silent in yesterday's investigation, but he made some statements?
[Reporter]
President Yoon was under intense scrutiny for 10 hours and 40 minutes yesterday.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that President Yoon exercised his right to remain silent in all investigations in the morning and afternoon.
However, the YTN report confirmed that President Yoon made a statement on how he declared emergency martial law to the effect that declaring martial law was the president's own authority.
Putting this together, it can be seen that President Yoon made his own argument rather than answering the question.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also explained that President Yoon did not make a statement at all, but that there was no answer to the question.
However, it is difficult to use it as evidence of guilt because President Yoon did not sign, seal, or seal.Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon
, explained that the lawyers will also submit their opinions.

President Yoon has filed an arrest suit, but how does this work?
[Reporter]
Arrest suitability is a procedure in which an arrested suspect asks the court to consider the legality of the arrest.
It was filed shortly after the Yoon Suk Yeol president's investigation ended yesterday. Like the actual examination of the arrest warrant, the court will make its own judgment.
That schedule has been set for 5 p.m. today.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also said it will send the case record today because there was a request from the court for a case-related record.
Judge So Jun-seop of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Chamber 32 will hear it.
It doesn't take long in the case of a normal arrest suit.
However, it is necessary to consider the fact that you are an incumbent president.
It took more than 10,000 days to hear the first and second arrest warrants.
This also took a much longer time than usual, so it was evaluated as a sign of concern by the court.
For this reason, there is a possibility that the results of an arrest suit may take a long time.

There were many predictions that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit would request an arrest warrant as early as today, but is the application for an arrest suit a variable?
[Reporter]
To put it simply, it is unlikely that an arrest warrant will be requested during the arrest suit.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that it is difficult to claim an arrest warrant before an arrest judgment decision is made, but it is common not to do so.
Before the request for an arrest warrant was filed, the deadline for the arrest warrant was 10:33 tomorrow.
That's why there was a prediction that the warrant request would be as early as tonight.
However, since this deadline is also postponed during the period of enrollment, there is a possibility that the timing of requesting an arrest warrant will be postponed.

But why did President Yoon suddenly change it when he was in the position that he was not trying to arrest him?
[Reporter]
It can be estimated by looking at lawyer Seok Dong-hyun's post on social media.
You might have thought that because the arrest warrant came from the Western District Court, it should be done in the Western District Court as well.
As he issued two arrest warrants, he seems to have decided that he had no chance of winning.
Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun also posted on SNS that he actually thought the arrest suit filed with the Western District Court was meaningless.
However, it seems that the lawyers have concluded that it does not have to be the Western District Court after a legal review.
There was also an analysis in the legal profession that even if the Western District Court issued it because there was no clear regulation in the law, the center could judge the arrest suit.
