Prosecutors from the Senior Prosecutor Cha Jung-hyun and other Senior Prosecutor of the Airborne Division also attended the Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest and expressed their position.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is also on high alert as the investigation into President Yoon could fluctuate greatly depending on the results of the arrest suit.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Chul-hee.

[Reporter]
Yes, it's a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

[Anchor]
The chief prosecutor of President Yoon's case was present in person at the arrest suit?

[Reporter]
Yes, three prosecutors from the Airborne Division, including Cha Jung-hyun, attended President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest suit, which lasted for about two hours from 5 p.m.

Cha went to the scene where he executed the arrest warrant yesterday and also investigated President Yoon himself.

Earlier, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit received the data requested by the court at around 2:03 p.m.

Investigators can secure recruits up to 48 hours from the time the suspect is arrested,
The arrest deadline has been suspended until the return of the
record.

Currently, the arrest deadline is about 20 hours and 30 minutes left.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also seems to be nervous as the results of the arrest suit are inevitable to affect the investigation in the future.

[Anchor]
Further investigation into President Yoon failed today, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit had previously agreed with President Yoon to investigate at 2 p.m. today.

However, at around 1:50 p.m., President Yoon expressed his intention not to attend the afternoon investigation through his lawyer.

At the same time, it was found that he also added an opinion that there was no change in the original position.

If the suspect refuses to investigate in this way, he or she can consider forced inches or door-to-door investigations.

It is known that the arrest investigation has been conducted and that the basis for the arrest warrant has not been explicitly established, so it has decided not to conduct further investigations.

[Anchor]
I think it may be difficult to investigate in the future, but will it affect the investigation?

[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has digested a large part of the 200 pages of questionnaires prepared in advance in yesterday's investigation.

However, there are still a lot of parts left.

The prosecution's investigation into Minister Kim Yong-hyun and other military officials has already revealed President Yoon's charges,
As President
is exercising his right to remain silent, we believe that there will be no significant impact on proving the charges.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that since a day has passed since the arrest, it would be normal to complete most of the preparations for the arrest warrant.

There seems to be an atmosphere inside that there is no choice but to seek an arrest warrant immediately without attempting further investigation.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee of YTN at the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
