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

Is the specific time to claim a warrant?

[Reporter]
It didn't come out in detail, but the deadline for the arrest of President Yoon is 9:05 p.m.
It is expected to be charged as early as
this afternoon or at the latest evening.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said the arrest warrant is almost complete.

The court that will seek an arrest warrant explained that it is highly likely to be the Seoul Western District Court, where the arrest warrant was issued twice earlier.

Since then, the court's procedures, including the substantive examination of the warrant, are expected to be confirmed in more detail when the warrant is requested.

How likely is it that President Yoon will go directly to the warrant review?

[Reporter]
It hasn't been confirmed yet.President

Yoon can appear in court directly or only his lawyer can go.

Like former Minister Kim Yong-hyun, the possibility of giving up the warrant review itself cannot be ruled out.

Earlier, President Yoon's lawyer said he would comply with the substantive examination of the warrant, but added a clue that it was a case of requesting the Seoul Central District Court.

Today, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun expressed his willingness to actively defend himself as he posted on social media that the lawyers would do their best to prepare for the arrest warrant.

However, as I told you, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is likely to seek a warrant from the Western District Court, so we will have to wait for an official position.

In addition, even if an arrest warrant is issued, there is a possibility that President Yoon will seek an arrest suit similar to an arrest suit.

President Yoon is not responding to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at all?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit informed President Yoon, who was detained at the Seoul Detention Center, to come out at 10 a.m. today for investigation.

But I didn't attend without any notice.

Yoon's lawyer confirmed to YTN reporters that he was not willing to attend, saying the illegality was not resolved.President

Yoon has not responded to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit until yesterday and today, saying that he fully stated his position in the first investigation and that there is no change in this position.

On the 15th, when he was arrested, the investigation was all for about 10 hours, but it was found that President Yoon exercised his right to silence and only claimed that martial law was the president's authority.

So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
