President Yoon Suk Yeol attended the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest at the Seoul Western District Court from 2 p.m.

The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is doing its best to clarify the allegations of President Yoon.

I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

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

President Yoon finally came to court after discussion with the lawyers, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon attended the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest at the Seoul Western District Court at 2 p.m. today.

This is the first case in which an incumbent president who is at a crossroads of arrest has appeared in a warrant review.

The convoy carrying President Yoon from the Seoul Detention Center went directly into the underground parking lot of the court and was not exposed to him.President

Yoon met with his lawyers at the detention center from around 9:40 a.m. today to discuss whether he would attend or not.

Earlier, President Yoon's side said that the Seoul Western District Court will not go to the warrant review as it is not the jurisdiction of the case.

However, President Yoon's side decided to attend the defense counsel's proposal that President Yoon should respond confidently,
He explained that he felt sorry for the arrest of the former minister, commander, and police chief who carried out the
martial law or worked to maintain order.

He added that he felt that he should restore his honor by explaining directly that the law of emergency martial law and the crime of rebellion are not established in courts and constitutional courts.

There are eight lawyers for the president who attended the judging court today, including lawyers Yoon Gap-geun and Bae Jin-han, and lawyers Seok Dong-hyun and Kim Hong-il.

In the meantime, President Yoon said he had said enough in the first investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and he did not respond to the investigation for the past two days and did not appear at the arrest investigation held at the Seoul Central District Court.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which has been in charge of investigating President Yoon, needs to prove specific charges in order to obtain an arrest warrant, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, for the first time ever, an arrest warrant has been filed for a sitting president,

The Defense Acquisition Program Administration is making every effort to prove President Yoon's allegations.

A total of six people attended the screening, including Cha Jung-hyun, a senior prosecutor at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

I arrived early at the Seoul Western District Court around 12:30 p.m. before the screening began.

The investigation team left work quite late yesterday, but we will watch the results overnight after we devote ourselves to proving the charges in today's screening.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is determined to secure President Yoon's recruits and continue the necessary investigation.

If the arrest warrant is rejected, President Yoon will be released immediately, and the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit could take a sudden break.

This time, the data submitted by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit alone is about 150 pages?

[Reporter]
Yes, the charges listed in President Yoon's arrest warrant are the head of the civil war and abuse of authority.

This bill is known to amount to 150 pages, which is large enough to be carried in a wheelbarrow.

It was found that the newspaper reports of key figures, including former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, were taken over from the police and prosecution and reflected comprehensively.

Also, basically considering the seriousness of the crime, there is a risk of recidivism such as the second martial law discussion,
It is said that President Yoon stressed that there is a possibility of removing additional evidence, such as deleting Telegram.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit reportedly referred to President Yoon as a "typical conviction" and stated that he is not repenting of the martial law incident at all.

In response, President Yoon said that he was not guilty of conviction, and he did not budge from his position that he was exercising his constitutional authority, judging it as a national crisis.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
