Although Yoon Suk Yeol's president adamantly refuses to investigate, the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office plans to follow the scheduled procedures.
We believe that we have secured enough evidence to prove the allegations without a presidential statement, and we will soon seek an arrest warrant.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit filled out and prepared more than 200 pages of questionnaires for the Yoon Suk Yeol presidential investigation.Despite President Yun's refusal to state
, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has largely digested the questions prepared on the first day.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has consolidated its policy to deal with the first sitting president.
As the prosecution and the joint investigation headquarters investigated the military general and the police command and handed them over to trial, many martial law cases were revealed, and even if there was no direct presidential statement, they judged that there was no problem in proving the charge of "insurrection."
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also said that since a day has passed since the arrest, most of them have been prepared for an arrest warrant, suggesting that the claim is imminent.
A face-to-face investigation can be attempted again prior to a warrant request, but there is no explicit regulation on whether President Yoon can be forcibly detained in a detention center only with an arrest warrant.
It is also discussed how the prosecutor goes to the detention center for a business trip investigation, but as President Yoon's stubborn position has been confirmed, it is highly likely that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will seek an arrest warrant immediately without further investigation.
