The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office, which requested an arrest warrant for a sitting president for the first time in constitutional history, chose the Seoul Western District Court again this time.

As all related controversies have been resolved through arrest suit, it seems that there is no problem with requesting and issuing warrants.

President Yoon Suk Yeol filed an arrest suit with the Seoul Central District Court, claiming the "illegal arrest" of the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation agency, but it was rejected.

The arrest warrant received by the Seoul Western District Court based on President Yoon's residence has jurisdiction issues,
President Yoon's operation aimed at reversing the last stage of
seems to have failed.

The court of the Seoul Central District Court explained that the claim in this case is dismissed under Article 214-2 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act because it is deemed to have no reason,

To put it simply, he saw that there was no legal problem with the current situation in which President Yoon is being investigated by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit while being arrested.

[Kim Kwang-sam / Attorney (YTN NewsNOW) L If it's a really illegal arrest warrant and there's a problem with the procedure, the judge in charge would have accepted the suitability and been released.]

An official of the Airborne Division stressed that it was recognized that the court could be selected according to the investigation situation, taking into account the location of the crime, the location of the evidence, and special circumstances, as shown in Article 31 of the Airborne Division Act.

On the other hand, President Yoon still maintained that the warrant of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was illegal,
Regarding the decision to dismiss
, he also expressed regret, saying that the rule of law is collapsing.

This is why it is expected to continue to question the legality of the procedure even at the stage of requesting an arrest warrant from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and issuing the Western District Court.
