◇Anchor> President Yoon did not respond to the request for summons from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit this morning. He's continuously refusing to investigate, but what kind of strategy does he have?

◆Kim Kwang-sam> First of all, don't you think you don't have the authority to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit? That's why you don't have to go and respond to it. When an arrest warrant was executed, you didn't go because you wanted to go, but you had no choice. Then, if you respond to the summons of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, you will recognize the investigation authority of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. I'm saying I won't show that.

As for the crime of rebellion, I think there is a high possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the authority to investigate until the end of the trial, and that the arrest warrant itself is illegal. Therefore, even after being escorted to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit by an arrest warrant, and even after attending, what he wanted to say and emergency martial law were justified, it is for the state. After saying a word, it's called Injeong Shinmun, so you don't even say your name, address, or anything like that.

That's why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit itself is not recognized as an investigative agency. That's why we actually went to Seoul Detention Center on the first day. I told him to come out by 10 the next day, but he said he couldn't go out because he was uncomfortable, and he didn't respond at 2 o'clock, and I think there is a high possibility that he will not respond to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in the future.

◇ Anchor> The arrest deadline is 9 p.m., but Yoon Suk Yeol Yoon Seok-yeol is now refusing to comply with the investigation, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will not force the investigation. In this situation, do you think there is a high possibility that you will not wait until 9 p.m. and request a warrant before then?

◆Kim Kwang-sam> He's probably writing a warrant right now. That's why when you get an arrest warrant and execute it, it's based on a warrant request. That's why the president exercised his right to remain silent from the first day, and if he continues to investigate, there is no reason for the president to say something unfavorable, and this is the legitimate power of the president to continue to rule. Because of this, the interrogation of the suspect under the arrest warrant itself was made as a premise to request an arrest warrant, not to use any meaningful evidence to obtain the warrant.

Then you would have already predicted that you would refuse to make a statement as a result, and then you might have prepared a warrant in advance. But first of all, if you haven't received a request for an arrest suit, you have to request a warrant by 10:32 this morning. However, as a result, the time between investigation records and the time to return are excluded from 48 hours, so eventually, it will be around 9 p.m. this evening, but there is a high possibility that a warrant will be requested this afternoon.
