The arrest deadline has stopped as much as the arrest...Request for a warrant as early as today.

The arrest deadline for Yoon Suk Yeol's president has been suspended until the data handed over to the court for an arrest investigation is returned to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The arrest deadline is expected to be extended until at least late tonight (17th), and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to seek an arrest warrant within this deadline.

After three summonses and two arrest warrants, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which secured Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential recruits, reportedly planned to seek an arrest warrant the day after his arrest.President

Yoon refuses to make a statement, but since he has done enough preliminary research, he could have requested an arrest warrant without meeting the 48-hour deadline for his arrest.

However, the schedule was disrupted as President Yoon requested an arrest suit.

According to the relevant law, the 48-hour arrest deadline clock stopped during the arrest investigation.As President

Yoon was arrested at 10:33 a.m. on the 15th, an arrest warrant must be requested or released before the same time on the 17th morning, and this deadline has been increased by the time it took to arrest an arrest suit.

The practice of not requesting an arrest warrant when the arrest suit proceeds also affected.

However, it is not expected that President Yoon will not respond to further investigation, and there is an atmosphere that it is not beneficial to investigate further internally by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, so the request for an arrest warrant will not take long.

In addition, the arrest warrant is likely to proceed to the Western District Court as in the case of the arrest warrant, not the Central District Court.
