President Yoon's arrest, when and how will it proceed?

[Reporter]
President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest suit will be held at 5 p.m. today (16th) with Judge So Jun-seop's hearing in court 321 of the Seoul Central District Court.

Security has been strengthened, including restrictions on access, in preparation for supporters flocking around the court building.

The court will listen to the opinions of both President Yoon's lawyers and the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and if the arrest process is unfair, it will be released, and if there is no problem, it will be dismissed.

The issue will be whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can investigate the incumbent president for rebellion and whether there are any jurisdiction issues in the arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Western District Court.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can investigate President Yoon in custody for 48 hours from the time he was arrested, excluding the time passed until the result of today's arrest.

Based on the time the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit handed over the case record to the Seoul Central District Court this afternoon, the remaining 48 hours will be stopped.

In the end, it is expected to be a variable in the flow of the investigation depending on when and how the results of the arrest suit will come out.

Is there a possibility that President Yoon will appear in court himself?

[Reporter]
President Yoon's lawyers told YTN reporters last night that they would consider whether the president would attend in person according to the interrogation schedule.

Since today's interrogation schedule was set, we have not expressed any position until now.President Yun

There are three main arguments.

First of all, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the authority to investigate the incumbent president with the privilege of fluoridation as a "crime of rebellion" and
Based on the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, which has the authority to prosecute President
Yoon, the Seoul Central District Court should determine whether to arrest or detain him.

It also took issue with the fact that the police, who were not under the direction of the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, were mobilized in the process of executing the arrest warrant.

On the other hand, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can issue an arrest warrant by the Seoul Western District Court based on the presidential residence, where President Yoon is located,
The position is that the president's rebellion can be investigated as a 'related crime' of abuse of authority, which is the subject of the
Airborne Division investigation.

The court is expected to hear both sides' positions in today's interrogation and conclude by tomorrow.

So far, the Seoul Central District Court has informed you.
