Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge at the Seoul Western District Court, will hear the interrogation of the suspect before President Yoon's arrest on the weekend.

The president took issue with the Western District Court's request for a warrant and expressed his intention not to attend.

Reporter Kim Chul-hee reports.

It was around 5:40 p.m. on Friday that the request for an arrest warrant from the Airborne Division was filed with the Western District Court, which issued the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The current criminal procedure law requires the arrested suspects to be interrogated until the day after the arrest warrant is requested.

As a result, the Western District Court announced that it would hold a pre-arrest interrogation of the suspect a day later, at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge on duty, will decide whether to arrest the president for the first time in constitutional history.

The request for an arrest warrant is usually reviewed by a judge in charge of the warrant, but
This is because the judge on duty is in charge of the warrant work outside of
working hours or on holidays.

Some say it is unusual for a judge on duty to deal with a super-large case, not a judge in charge of a warrant,
From the perspective of President
, it means avoiding the two warrant judges who issued arrest warrants earlier.

The president's side has repeatedly indicated that the president will attend in person if a warrant is requested by the Central District Court, but

[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Counsel (last 8th): Claim a preliminary warrant to the Central District Court, and the basic position is that you will comply with the procedure.]

As the Western District Court is in charge of the examination, it has announced that there will be no presidential attendance.

The Western District Court once again stated its position that it is not a court in charge of the case, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit emphasized that the jurisdiction controversy ended due to the rejection of the arrest suit.
