The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has requested an arrest warrant for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.

The warrant review will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Seoul Western District Court, but President Yoon is not expected to attend.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter, reporter Kim Chul-hee!

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

When was the arrest warrant filed?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it filed a warrant with the court for the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol at around 5:40 p.m. today.

It was about three and a half hours before the arrest warrant deadline.

It is the first time in constitutional history that an arrest warrant has been requested for a sitting president.

It's been 45 days since President Yoon declared martial law on the night of December 3rd last month,
From the day President Yoon was arrested, an arrest warrant was requested in two days.

What does the arrest warrant say?

[Reporter]
First of all, the request for an arrest warrant for President Yoon was found to be about 150 pages long, including various data.

An official from the Airborne Division explained that the arrest warrant bill included the seriousness of the crime and the risk of recidivism.

On the screen, investigators who got out of the car can be seen transferring several boxes containing a pile of documents into a wheelbarrow and entering the building.

It seems to be data to support the claims of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the contents of the investigation.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said the warrant reflected the statements of key suspects investigated by the prosecution and the investigation data of the police.

He also added that the president exercised his right to remain silent and has refused to investigate since yesterday, but the data has been faithful, so there is no problem with the claim.

The warrant was filed with the Seoul Western District Court as expected, right?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.Since President

Yoon's arrest, an official from the Airborne has explained, "It is common to request an arrest warrant from the place where the arrest warrant was issued."

Today, I explained the reason for the claim to the Seoul Western District Court for a similar purpose.

One more thing was that there was a judgment that the jurisdiction issue was resolved when the arrest investigation in the Seoul Central District Court was dismissed.

[Anchor]
When will the substantive examination of the warrant be held?

[Reporter]
The substantive examination of the arrest warrant will be held at the Seoul Western District Court at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Since the warrant review is on the weekend, the judge on duty is in charge of the hearing, not the judge in charge of the warrant.

Chief Judge Cha Eun-kyung decides whether to issue an arrest warrant for President Yoon
As early as
tomorrow night, it is expected that the current president will be arrested.

The Senior Prosecutor's Office said up to seven prosecutors, including a senior prosecutor, will attend the warrant review.

Considering that three prosecutors attended the previous arrest investigation, it can also be interpreted as having a greater weight.

[Anchor]
Will President Yoon Suk Yeol attend the warrant review in person?

[Reporter]
President Yoon Suk Yeol is not expected to attend.President

Yoon's side also told YTN reporters that he would not go out for sure.

It also repeated the claim that it was unfair for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to request an arrest warrant from the Seoul Western District Court, not the Seoul Central District Court.

However, even if the president does not attend in person, the lawyers are expected to come out and point out the jurisdiction issue or the investigation rights of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to the court.

It is also expected to emphasize that he is an incumbent president and that there is no fear of fleeing.

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