In a moment, we'll be looking forward to arresting...the absence of the President of Yoon Suk Yeol

[Anchor]
An interrogation process will be held shortly at 5 p.m. to determine whether the arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol's president is justified.

The president asked for an arrest suit, saying it was an illegal arrest warrant by the unauthorized Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court.

I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Shin Jiwon!

This is the Seoul Central District Court.

The president finally decided not to attend in person, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon Suk Yeol's legal advisory committee, told reporters at around 4:40 p.m. that President Yoon Suk Yeol will not attend in person.

It did not specify the reason for the president's absence.

Instead, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, lawyer Kim Gye-ri, and lawyer Bae Jin-han will appear among the lawyers.

Until the last minute, the fact of whether the president will attend in person was strictly secured.President

Yoon said he would comply with the procedure if he filed an arrest warrant with the Seoul Central District Court or handed it over to trial immediately, so he was interested in attending as a party today, but it was confirmed that he would not attend in the end.

There are about 10 minutes left before President Yoon's arrest.

What's the atmosphere of the building?

[Reporter]
Security around the court building has been considerably strengthened ahead of the start of an arrest suit.

The cafeteria and cafe, which remained open even when there was a big case sentence, were also closed from 3 p.m.

In addition, police and court officials frequently inspected the inside of the building.Until just before President

Yoon decided not to appear, the movement to check on-site security appeared to have been busy.

Then, please summarize what the issue of arresting grudges is today.

[Reporter]
The court is expected to hear the opinions of both President Yoon's lawyers and the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit today and dismiss the arrest warrant if it is deemed illegal, and dismiss it if it is not a problem.

The jurisdiction of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Seoul Western District Court is expected to be an issue.President

Yoon's side is expected to continue its previous claim that the Seoul Central District Court, which is the judge of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, which has the power to turn the president over to trial, should decide whether to arrest him or not.

The president's request for an arrest suit to the Central District Court, not the Western District Court, is interpreted as a strategy to avoid the Seoul Western District Court, which issued two arrest warrants for President Yoon.

It is also unusual for the Seoul Central District Court to judge the legality of an arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Western District Court, and we are interested in what judgment the court will make today.

So far, I'm Shin Ji-won of YTN at the Seoul Central District Court.
