Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit "Reviews Request for Arrest Warrant After Decision on Arrest Indemnity"

With the arrest suitability review for President Yoon Suk Yeol held at 5 p.m. today (16th), the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is unlikely to seek an arrest warrant until the court decides on the legality of the arrest.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained at today's briefing that they usually do not request an arrest warrant if the legality process proceeds.

In addition, he said that he will send the records today because there was a request from the court for records regarding arrest.

He also added that the arrest deadline for President Yoon will be suspended until he receives the records today and returns.

The investigative agency can secure recruits up to 48 hours from the time the suspect is arrested, and when the records are received, the arrest deadline is suspended until they are returned.
