◇ Anchor> With the arrest this time, I think there will be an evaluation of the investigative power of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit revealed that the arrest warrant was firmly prepared.
◆Son Su-ho> After the president was arrested, he became an inch into the airlift. After that, he said nothing about being investigated. Or only made some statements and generally didn't open their mouths. There have been several reports such as exercising the right to refuse to make statements. That's why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has not been able to properly investigate, causing a setback in future proceedings. There were some opinions like this, but it was hard to see it like that.
Because the exercise of the right to refuse to make a statement was foreseen.Even if Ma doesn't say anything or refutes all the questions, in fact, he would have already written a lot of the arrest warrant claims in this case, which had gone so far, at the time. And the prosecution would have written quite a lot of the indictments. Because there are quite a few accomplices who have already been investigated and prosecuted. Also, the reference investigation was not reported by the media.Ma would have done quite a lot.
In addition to the investigation, there are a lot of objective images, other voices, and evidence. Through this, the investigation has already been virtually confirmed, and if it is issued, how to request an arrest warrant, and how to file a prosecution, maintain the prosecution, and obtain a conviction. I guess the strategy establishment in this area has already been established a long time ago.
◇Anchor> It is said that the amount of arrest warrants submitted by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to the Western District Court is about 150 pages. There are some media reports that they referred to President Yoon as a typical conviction when requesting a warrant. However, President Yoon's side is not guilty of conviction. That's what he said. How can we evaluate these parts?
◆Son Su-ho> First of all, it's hard to understand that he's not guilty because he's a certain criminal. After a while, what does it mean... He must have declared a martial law because he was confident. However, is that conviction a crime under the current law? In addition, according to the judgment of the Constitutional Court, whether it is the reason for dismissal or not. The judgment of whether or not to do so remains in the future. And the content of the media reports, the president seems to be a convincing criminal. If you have to interpret this part, today is a judgment on the requirements for issuing an arrest warrant.
Then, among the requirements for issuing an arrest warrant, the seriousness of the crime should be considered in judging the possibility of destroying evidence and running away. Another important thing is that in determining whether to issue a warrant, expectations or predictions of future situations will also have an impact. In other words, if the president is released because an arrest warrant is not issued and he goes to his official residence, it should be questioned whether criminal proceedings can proceed properly in the future.
In this regard, the reason why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit used the expression "confident criminal" in a situation where there are probably questions from the judge today and how the lawyers will respond to it is a little questionable whether it should be used when requesting an arrest warrant. It looks like there's an intention. Because he is a conviction, he seems to believe that the requirements to declare emergency martial law are met.
◇Anchor> You can declare an emergency martial law again, right?
◆Son Su-ho> That's why if you are released and return to your official residence, you will still believe that the requirements of emergency martial law are met, and even though you have declared a legitimate emergency martial law, you have suffered for about 40 days now. And a lot of media criticized or criticized him, and he went to a detention center. Arrest warrants have been executed. If so, I think it will be an even stronger state of emergency and a situation in which martial law must be declared. If so, it is presumed that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit stated in the warrant request that this part should be reflected in the issuance of the arrest warrant.
