It has been confirmed that the President of Yoon Suk Yeol insisted on declaring martial law in an investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit yesterday to the effect that it is the president's authority.The arrest suit filed by President Yoon

will be held at the Seoul Central District Court at 5 p.m. today.

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

Is there no investigation into the president of Yoon Suk Yeol today?

[Reporter]
It's a very likely situation.

President Yoon Suk Yeol was understood to be in a position to be investigated at around 2 p.m., but he seems to have changed his position since then.President Yoon's lawyer

said yesterday that he fully stated his position and confirmed that he would not respond to today's investigation, saying he did not need to be investigated further.

It is possible to consider forcibly bringing them in for investigation or a prosecutor going to the Seoul Detention Center for investigation, but an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said he would wait until 2 p.m.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit prepared about 200 pages of questionnaires, but it was found that they were not able to digest all of them.

[Anchor]
In yesterday's investigation, I told you that President Yoon used the right to remain silent,

You made your position clear?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.In a more than 10-hour investigation yesterday, President

Yoon was found to have expressed his position that declaring martial law is the president's own authority.

Rather than answering the prosecutor's question, it seems that President Yoon made his own argument about the background of declaring martial law.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also met with reporters and informed them that they had refused to make a statement, adding that there was no answer to the question.

However, it is difficult to use it as evidence of guilt in the trial as President Yoon has not signed the record.President Yun

said he will submit a separate opinion.

[Anchor]
I'll also talk about the pride of arrest.

It's scheduled, right?

[Reporter]
Arrest suitability is a process in which the arrested suspect asks to determine whether the arrest is appropriate and is reviewed by the court.President

Yoon requested an arrest suit yesterday and a hearing will be held at the Seoul Central District Court at 5 p.m. today.

Judge So Jun-seop of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Chamber 32 will be in charge.

The legal profession explains that it usually does not take a long time for results to come out, but the fact that he is a sitting president is a variable.

In the case of arrest warrants, the possibility of taking a long time cannot be ruled out at all, as both cases took about a day to be issued.

As President Yoon has repeatedly emphasized the procedure through the Central District Court, criticizing the arrest warrant issued by the Western District Court as warrant shopping,
Attention is also focused on the results of the
arrest pride.It has not yet been confirmed whether President

Yoon will attend in person.

[Anchor]
There were many predictions that an arrest warrant would be requested as early as today, but what happens to this?

[Reporter]
It is unlikely that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will claim it while the arrest suit is held.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that it is difficult to say right or wrong, but it is common not to ask for an arrest warrant before an arrest is made.

Under the relevant law, the time taken from the moment the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit hands over the relevant records to the court to the result is excluded from the arrest deadline.

In other words, as the arrest hearing proceeds, the arrest deadline, which was actually until 10:33 tomorrow, will increase.

As a result, the timing of requesting an arrest warrant is likely to be pushed back.

[Anchor]
Since yesterday, President Yoon's supporters have held rallies around the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, right?

Is it continuing today as well?

[Reporter]
Although not as many as yesterday, supporters of President Yoon are gathering and holding a rally in front of the Gwacheon Government Complex, where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is located.It seems that there is also an effect of the movement of supporters to the detention center where President

Yoon is located.

Supporters holding the national flag have condemned the execution of Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant and have spoken out against impeachment.

As supporters flock, the police are putting their careers into order just in case,
The security of checking pass or something like that of people entering the
building has also been strengthened.

So far, I'm a YTN Youngsoo Kim at the Senior Civil Servants Crime Bureau.
