From now on, we will take a closer look with lawyer Lee Go-woon. Lawyer, tonight, as early as tonight. And the results will come out tomorrow morning at the latest, right?


[Igorun]
I think so. If we look at these examples before that, the results of the actual examination of the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung, or former President Park Geun Hye, were often released five hours later. Of course, the time for the warrant's substantive examination was currently about 4 hours and 50 minutes by President Yoon Suk Yeol, but in fact, in the case of Representative Lee Jae-myung, the substantive examination was conducted for a longer time, nearly twice as long. But it only took about 5 hours for the results to come out. If we try to put that example into our case and apply it, it is carefully speculated that the result will come out as early as midnight today or as early as tomorrow morning. As a result, we should wait and see if such a situation will unfold in which an incumbent president is arrested for the first time in constitutional history.

[Anchor]
In fact, it doesn't take this long in a typical case. Doesn't a normal case end in a much shorter time?

{이고}That's right. In particular, in cases where charges are admitted, there are cases where the warrant is reviewed in just 15 or 20 minutes. Even if the charges are fiercely contested, it takes about an hour to examine the substance of the arrest warrant for a suspect against the general public. So this time, it took about 4 hours and 50 minutes for President Yoon Suk Yeol. Compared to former President Park Geun Hye, it took a shorter time to interrogate, but it took quite a long time compared to the case of ordinary citizens and ordinary people. In particular, the charges that President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing are one fact. Considering that the court issue is not that complicated, considering that the four-hour and five-minute warrant review is a two-pronged charge, after all, the chief judge also tried to guarantee a defense guarantee and sufficient equity in giving the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit a chance, which looks like this.

[Anchor]
In about 10 minutes, I think President Yoon Suk Yeol will arrive at Seoul Guchi again. If the results of the Yoon Suk Yeol president come out today, how will the situation proceed after this?

{이고}I think we should divide it into two. I think we should look at the two cases, when an arrest warrant is issued and when it is dismissed. Once an arrest warrant is issued, the detainees are currently in this waiting room waiting for the results of the warrant review, but if a warrant is issued, they will be arrested, so the number of physical examinations for the detainees will be given. You can also face a situation where you have to change into a reception suit. It is also expected to move to Suyeong-dong, where the suspects are currently suspects, but the suspects are staying. And after the warrant is issued, it is common for the prosecutor, who usually requested the warrant, to summon it again to check whether there is a change in the suspect's mind or whether he will change the allegation to the purpose of acknowledging it. Therefore, I think that maybe next week, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution will summon President Yoon Suk Yeol once more to investigate. If the arrest warrant is dismissed, In that case, he is currently in the detention center's waiting room, but he can probably be released immediately and headed to his official residence. In addition, they are eventually investigated by the prosecution without detention, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can hand over the case to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the prosecution. This is because there are parts that require prosecution without physical detention. If so, I carefully guess that the prosecution will summon the next suspect investigation.

[Anchor]
If a warrant is issued today, will he be held in solitary confinement?

{이고}I think that's probably the case. In the case of former President Park Geun Hye, he eventually spent the period of imprisonment in solitary confinement, so I think President Yoon Suk Yeol will be more respectful because he is not a former president but a sitting president. So, I think I will move to Suyeong-dong, but in the end, I think I will continue to live in solitary confinement. And while living in solitary confinement, he will be asked to investigate additional investigations into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or summon the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office when the case is transferred to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

[Anchor]
We have informed you that President Yoon Suk Yeol is moving to the Seoul Detention Center. As in today's court appearance, I'm traveling in a Ministry of Justice convoy, but after detention, will my jurisdiction be transferred back to the Ministry of Justice?

{이고}That's right. In fact, when executing the arrest warrant, he should have taken a vehicle, but since he is an incumbent president, he seems to have used a security vehicle to move to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in respect of the security of the security service. However, from today, we are going to use the Ministry of Justice's convoy. However, as you may have seen in the scene where we were moving earlier, even if we used the convoy, it seems that they were guarded by the security service at the front and back and were controlled by the road and treated with such respect and consideration.

[Anchor]
The arrest examination for President Yoon Suk Yeol was completed in 4 hours and 50 minutes. President Yoon Suk Yeol is moving back from the Seoul Western District Court to the Seoul Detention Center. I was interested in whether I would send a message after the arrest examination, but anyway, without a message, I am heading to the Seoul Detention Center by car as I did when I came to the Western District Court today. Wasn't there a lot of interest in the judge in charge now? Cha Eun-kyung is known as a senior judge, which is usually handled by a warrant judge, but it's a weekend. Looking at it, I think the judge on duty for the weekend was in charge.

{이고}That's right. Courts with a lot of grandstanding work, such as the Seoul Central District Court, can work on weekends, but in the Seoul Western District Court or ordinary courts, the warrant judge takes turns on the weekend. So, as usual at the Seoul Western District Court, the warrant review was scheduled on the weekend, so it seems that Cha Eun-kyung, the senior judge in charge of this weekend, was chosen as the judge to finally hear the warrant. Regarding this, there was a brief controversy over whether it is appropriate for a judge who is on duty on weekends to take charge of the warrant examination for the first incumbent president in constitutional history. Of course, there is no illegality legally. My personal opinion is that if it is usually right for a judge on duty to stand on the weekend rather than making an exception because this is special, I think it is more objectivity-guaranteed to be taken by a judge in the order in which he was supposed to be in charge rather than causing unnecessary misunderstanding. So, in the future, President Yoon Suk Yeol may argue why, when the warrant was issued, a judge on duty on the weekend took over this part rather than a warrant judge, but it doesn't seem to be a legal problem. And rather, in such a very exceptional situation, I think going by principle is the part that can eliminate the most unnecessary controversy. Because of those things, I carefully guess that the Western District Court also entrusted the warrant hearing for President Yoon Suk Yeol to a judge on duty, which was originally scheduled.

[Anchor]
From the perspective of President Yoon Suk Yeol, he has been decided by judges three times, but he has avoided the judge who was issued an arrest warrant. In a way, do you have any positive outlook?

{이고}In my opinion, President Yoon Suk Yeol would have actually wished for an arrest warrant in the Central District Court rather than the Western District Court. The reason is that if lawyer Seok Dong-hyun requests an arrest warrant from the Central District Court several times, we will respond to all court procedures such as a substantive examination. So, I've talked several times to the Seoul Central District Court, which seems to be on trial anyway, asking for an arrest warrant first. However, in the end, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit requested a warrant from the Western District Court. From that point on, I think President Yoon Suk Yeol will be a little dissatisfied. However, I think it was actually an inevitable choice at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. If we chose the Western District Court rather than the Seoul Central District Court as the arrest warrant, we can also investigate the crime of rebellion because the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has the authority to investigate abuse of authority and is a crime directly related to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. And the fact that the Western District Court issued two arrest warrants has continued to hold the position that the court has also acknowledged that we have the right to investigate. However, if it suddenly turns to the Central District Court at the stage of requesting an arrest warrant, the logic of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's argument may be in fact wrong. Therefore, from the perspective of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, there was no choice but to request an arrest warrant with the Seoul Western District Court. So, President Yoon Suk Yeol must have thought hard about this, but I think the lawyer's persuasion was very effective in attending the actual examination of the arrest warrant today. Because there were more reports yesterday evening that they would not attend the actual screening. There was an interview with lawyers in the morning. After the interview, there were reports that he would suddenly attend the Yoon Suk Yeol presidential warrant hearing. Perhaps the lawyers had given legal advice to President Yoon Suk Yeol on how Yoon Suk Yeol, a suspect, would act at this point be more advantageous to dismiss the warrant in this case. So after sufficient discussion, I carefully guess that President Yoon Suk Yeol also respected the opinion of his lawyer.

[Anchor]
Is this process of the suspect attending the examination in person and answering questions from the judge advantageous for the suspect when interrogating the suspect before arrest?


It's advantageous. Most of them are in attendance. Except for cases like politicians or heads of very large companies who do not attend, I have argued many cases, but there has never been a warrant review in which the suspect himself did not attend. So, usually, the suspect himself appears, and the lawyer also appears. Of course, most of the remarks are made by the lawyer, and the time the suspect answers on his own is only 10% to 20% compared to the time the lawyer speaks. In the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the lawyer gave 70 minutes of PPT, but President Yoon Suk Yeol spent 40 minutes talking and 5 or 45 minutes as the final remarks, which seems to be a fact that the suspect himself made a lot of remarks. Even though he is an incumbent president, he has been a prosecutor for a very long time, so isn't he very legally well-versed? So, the crime of rebellion in this part is not an explanation. I think he continued his direct remarks for a long time to appeal to the court more effectively that this was a legitimate act of governance and that there was no reason for arrest.

[Anchor]
I'm showing you the front of the Seoul Detention Center at this time. The police are standing in line to prepare for a possible situation. In a little while, a Ministry of Justice convoy carrying President Yoon Suk Yeol is expected to arrive in front of the Seoul Detention Center. It's dinner time right now. In addition, since we moved while controlling traffic, we are expected to appear here as if we are showing you in front of the Seoul Detention Center at this time soon. It took about 30 minutes to move from the Seoul Detention Center to the Seoul Western District Court today. It looks like it will arrive in a little while. You just showed up. You can see them arriving at the Seoul Detention Center and the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang City, Gyeonggi Province, under traffic control, escorted by convoy vehicles and a number of security guards. After the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest, he'll be waiting in the detention center again, right? Then how long will you wait?

{이고}You can think of it as waiting until the warrant results come out. If the result of the warrant is dismissed, it will be released immediately. I think I'll probably head to the presidential residence. However, if an arrest warrant is issued, the building will be moved to the detention center where the president of Yoon Suk Yeol is currently staying, not to the detention center, but to the detention center where the arrested suspects are housed. Perhaps Suyong-dong will also have a solitary cell in preparation for the issuance of an arrest warrant. It seems that they will have to go through the process of moving there and going through various detention suspects. Until now, it is said that he is wearing plain clothes, but when an arrest warrant is issued, he changes into a prison uniform. You will also be given your own number and your own number. You will receive a hand-carved suit with the hand-carved number engraved on the left chest and change into that outfit.

[Anchor]
In this case, a picture of the audience's face, so-called mugshot, is that what you're going to take?

{이고}That's right. I'm going to take a mug shot. In addition, I think the body's examination will probably go through the same parts as ordinary suspects.

[Anchor]
There was news that President Yoon Suk Yeol had just arrived at the Seoul Detention Center. You just watched the live video.A convoy carrying President Ma Yoon Suk Yeol and its procession have now passed through the main gate of the Seoul Detention Center. Supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol held up the Korean national flag and waved the name of President Yoon Suk Yeol. The police appear to be united here to maintain order. I just entered the Seoul Detention Center, so as you said, I'll wait for the result of whether or not the court issues an arrest warrant today. I interrogated the suspect before the arrest for 4 hours and 50 minutes. Doesn't this usually belong to a fairly long axis?

{이고}That's right. As I said earlier, in the case of general suspects, the case of acknowledging the charges ends simply in about 20 minutes. The shortest warrant review I've ever experienced was even finished within five minutes. Because usually, lawyers already submit that the warrant should be dismissed for some reason with an opinion before the warrant is reviewed. Since the defense is based on a written statement on that part, the case without room for dispute ends very simply. Even so, cases in which allegations are denied do not take so long for ordinary people. If it takes about an hour, they say it took a long time. However, it seems that it took a considerable amount of time for President Yoon Suk Yeol to take 4 hours and 50 minutes. However, in light of the case of the former president, it can be evaluated that the interrogation time was relatively short. In the case of former President Park Geun Hye, it took 8 hours and 40 minutes. In fact, former President Park Geun Hye was present at this time as well. In addition, there were reports that he personally attended and stated various feelings since his father, former President Park Chung-hee. In addition, in the case of Seo Hoon, the former head of the National Security Office at Cheong Wa Dae, it took the longest time in history to interrogate, but it took 10 hours and 6 minutes. But in both cases, the questioning was much longer than the case against Yoon Suk Yeol's president, but it took only five hours for the warrant to come out. Rather, if the interrogation period is long, the judge is certain of how long he will stand during the interrogation time. So I think it's not long to actually make a decision. In this case, however, in the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol, it is the first time in constitutional history that a warrant is reviewed for an incumbent president, so I think senior judge Cha Eun-kyung will feel very burdened. And there have also been reports of scenes in which public prosecutors of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit take the records to the court, so moving the record box from the vehicle to the court, and the amount of the box was significant. So I'll carefully guess that it'll probably take quite a long time because Cha has to review all the records one by one. I think there is a high possibility that it will come out early tomorrow morning. In the case of
this case, the issue is actually very simple. In the case of other former president's cases and former politicians, there are really several crimes and several issues, while the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol is related to the emergency martial law on December 3rd, and only two crimes are applied. Since the issue of facts is relatively simple, I guess the result of the warrant will still come out early tomorrow morning.

[Anchor]
As you said, isn't it known that the issue is not complicated? Of course, there are about 150 pages of requests for arrest warrants submitted by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. There were quite a lot of boxes when the officials of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit moved related documents to the Seoul Western District Court in the evening. I used a wheelbarrow to move several boxes full of documents, and President Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyer and lawyer Yoon Gap-geun said they would explain the legitimacy of emergency martial law and the non-establishment of rebellion. How much will these affect the judge in today's examination or how much will they affect the judgment? How do you view it?

{이고}In fact, I don't think it's very profitable for President Yoon Suk Yeol to focus on his argument on the clarification of the allegations. Because all accomplices except President Yoon Suk Yeol have already been charged with some conclusion that the charges are cleared. All of them have been issued arrest warrants. If so, other accomplices have not been convicted, but at least the Seoul Central District Court has already judged all of them through other accomplices. If so, for example, if the time given is one hour, I would like to add to the opinion that the possibility of dismissing the warrant increases only when it is emphasized more that the part where the defense should be focused is not a clarification of the charges, but that there is no need for arrest. Emphasizing the difference from other accomplices and the fact that they are incumbent presidents, other accomplices were arrested despite being important mission workers under the leadership, but since they are currently being investigated and judged by the Constitutional Court, why should they be investigated and tried in the first trial? I think it would be a more convincing argument to argue that this part has a greater need for defense than other major accomplices. However, before President Yoon Suk Yeol attended in person today, President Yoon Suk Yeol will attend the meeting and tell him that the charges are not cleared even when his lawyer stood in front of reporters and asked what part of his argument he would focus on today. President Yoon also briefed on the fact that this part is not illegal because it is a legitimate exercise of emergency martial law and the legitimate constitutional authority granted to the president under the constitution, but that he will tell you directly that the decision was made after a lot of consideration to protect the country. However, we need to wait and see how persuasive this part will be for the judge.

[Anchor]
On the contrary, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit emphasizes the logic of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit by using the word "confident criminal" in President Yoon Suk Yeol's warrant.
I think the logic is quite tight. When is the word "confident criminal" used from the standpoint of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit?

{이고}To be a sure offender is to be convinced that the suspect himself/herself is not a crime even though he/she has committed a crime, and you can think of the criminal who commits the crime as a sure offender.

[Anchor]
In other words, from the perspective of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, I think we can unfold this logic that there is a possibility of recidivism.

{이고}That's right. From the point of view of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, in fact, the clarification of the charges is not a very difficult issue. I think the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is focusing on whether there is a need for arrest enough to make him under arrest investigation, even though he is an incumbent president. The reason is, as I said earlier, you're the president, so are you worried about running away? Even if we think about it, don't you think it's low? Fear of destroying evidence? When ordinary people think about how to destroy evidence when they are excluded from their duties, they get a glimpse of it. Therefore, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can think of this general idea, but if you look closely at the case, there are many people who have been excluded from their duties but have not yet been arrested, and because they are the incumbent president, they are excluded from their duties, but they can exert great influence on important witnesses. There is still the possibility of destroying any evidence, and if they are detained, they can use their supportive forces to create a similar situation again. I think I emphasized this part more that it needs to be restrained through these parts.

[Anchor]
Since you were a prosecutor, I'll ask you this, too. Isn't it known that President Yoon Suk Yeol did not read or seal the record after being investigated by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit? Will this also be submitted to the court during the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest today?

{이고}All the records that have been investigated so far will be compiled and submitted to the court that will hear the warrant. Because this document is not in the trial stage, it is not just the investigative documents that have been investigated, that is, given the ability to testify. Currently, it is still under investigation, so even if you lose your ability to testify at the trial stage afterwards, you can submit it all at the current warrant hearing stage. So, I think President Yoon Suk Yeol exercised only the right to refuse to make a statement and at the end, this record, which refused to sign and seal, was also compiled in the investigation record and went to Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge. In addition, if you refuse to seal like this, you are required to write down the situation at the end of the record. In some circumstances, if a signature seal is requested or the suspect and his attorney say something, they refuse to sign and seal. Write it down like this. Also, in the second half of the record, an investigation report is set up separately. That's why I write and post a report on the situation of refusal, which is the signature date of the suspect. So, while describing the situation of the investigation, it is highly likely that the investigation report written by the prosecutor is organized in front of or behind the record. And I think this part is another important issue if a warrant is issued. The reason for this is that the fact is that the investigative agency and the court do not cooperate with the investigative agency and the court's procedures is a very bad part. There may be unfair points and there may be contents of the toilet, but first of all, you have to follow the legal procedures and cooperate with them to make a claim about the unfair points and then refute them legally. You can fully exercise the right to refuse to make a statement, regardless of the attendance of any investigative agency, but refusing even the signature and seal for no other reason can lead to suspicion that you may not be faithfully tried in the future, so I wonder if this was a behavior favorable to President Yoon Suk Yeol.

[Anchor]
Because of such concerns, it may be considered that he attended today and spoke quite actively for about 40 minutes.

{이고}Yes, I think that's the part. In fact, it appears that the lawyer went in this morning and persuaded the president of Yoon Suk Yeol. Because the lawyers already received the warrant last night, didn't they? Under these circumstances, President Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyer must have talked and persuaded him that refusing to comply with the attendance and failing to execute arrest warrants once, his attitude of not defending the law and not respecting the investigative agencies, and criticisms of these parts would have been included in the warrant request. I think the President of Yoon Suk Yeol also accepted this part and attended today.

[Anchor]
Then, Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge who finished interrogating the suspect before his arrest. What are you doing now?

{이고}Now I'm reviewing the records. And there will be an arrest warrant bill from each party, the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and a lawyer's opinion from Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyer. We will review the opinions of both sides and the investigation records submitted and see if the issuance of the warrant is valid. There are requirements that must be met when trying to arrest. First of all, the charges must be cleared. Of course, there are cases in which the actual examination of an arrest warrant does not distinguish between guilt and innocence, so it is said as if it would be issued as long as there is a need for arrest, but this is not the case. Because you can't arrest an innocent person, it doesn't have to be highly proven to rule out a reasonable suspicion enough to lead to guilt, but it's basic that you should be vindicated to some extent that you committed such a crime. Under the premise that such requirements are met, however, the charges can be clarified, but is there a need to be arrested or is there a concern about escaping? Or is there a concern about destroying evidence, and these two are the thickest flows. Other things that can be viewed as reference while evaluating the reasons for arrest are the risk of recidivism. The risk of recidivism mentioned by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can also be seen, and concerns about the harm to important reference persons. So if you're arrested, you go to the people who said something against me and do harm, or you're likely to cajole a statement. And how serious the crime is. Therefore, it is a factor to consider when evaluating whether it is a crime serious enough to be arrested as a reason for arrest.

[Anchor]
Looking at the position of the lawyers of President Yoon a little while ago, he faithfully explained the facts, evidence, and legal issues. We will also wait quietly for the court's decision. Of course, we are waiting for good results from our perspective. That's what I said. Of course, from President Yoon's point of view, the good result would be the rejection of the arrest warrant. You talked about it as early as tonight, but you said the results are expected to come out tomorrow morning. Then, you explained easily the criteria for arrest under the Criminal Procedure Act, but I wonder what will be the key to issuing a warrant in the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

{이고}First of all, I think the fear of running away is very low. In the end, I think these will be very important factors for President Yoon Suk Yeol's issuance of a warrant, including concerns about the destruction of evidence and what I could consider in evaluating the reasons for arrest earlier, the seriousness of the crime, the risk of recidivism and the risk of important reference. In addition, there were many speculations about whether President Yoon Suk Yeol would send another message after questioning the suspect before his arrest, but I didn't think he would. The reason is that he criticized President Yoon Suk Yeol for not defending the law on sending a message to the public or releasing a video to the public while refusing to comply with all attempts to arrest the investigative agency or investigations by the investigative agency. However, the results of the warrant will be released within the next 10 hours, and the judge who is currently reviewing the warrant will also see media briefings and things like that. However, if we issue a message to the public here, it may show that it is not respecting the court, but is engaged in a public opinion war, so it is unlikely that we will issue any message to the public through a lawyer until the warrant results are released. So, I think that I'll probably wait for the results quietly, no matter how the results of the warrant come out, I think the message will come out according to the results. In the end, the key to the issuance of the warrant is whether there is a fear of destroying evidence. In addition, the seriousness of the crime, which is a supplementary reason for arrest, the risk of recidivism, and concerns about harm to important reference persons. There may be this part. So many people may think that if concerns about destruction of evidence are to be an issue, the incumbent president must participate in his duties, but he must work in his duties to eliminate the evidence. However, if you go back to your official residence, there are various records of CCTV. And because you have the authority to access it and you can try to destroy it or various things through your subordinates, there is a part where you cannot judge that there is no fear of destroying evidence just because the job is excluded. Another part is that evidence is physical evidence, statements of reference persons, statements of accomplices, etc. because only certain documents or things like this are not evidence, but human evidence.
There may therefore be an attempt to gain additional access to key unbinding references and try to coax statements into favor of President Yoon Suk Yeol. The reason why this possibility seems to be possible is that after the trial, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun recently sent a message to former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, saying that Kim Yong-hyun copied the decree incorrectly. Then, former Minister Kim Yong-hyun immediately protested, saying it was not. These messages and statements. So, contrary to the facts, attempts to pass the president's responsibility on important witnesses and accomplices to others can be seen as an attempt to cajole personal statements to destroy human evidence, so wouldn't the fear of destroying evidence be another issue? It seems to be an important issue.

[Anchor]
In addition, although he was excluded from his duties, President Yoon Suk Yeol has made public statements and carried out many activities to encourage supporters such as handwritten letters after the emergency martial law incident, and this part can still be considered to be very influential.

{이고}The influence is great, but the influence means to support President Yoon Suk Yeol more and support the ruling party, which may have nothing to do with the evidence on the day of the incident. That's why, in my opinion, the warrant judge has a lot of authority and influence over the destruction of evidence or the conviction of human evidence, whether it's through some third party who can make a vindication of the case, or because President Yoon Suk Yeol is still a sitting president. So, I think we will seriously look at the parts that these things may dilute or change the statements of important reference persons.

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol has consistently pointed out the authority of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and pointed out the jurisdiction of the warrant, but did he claim this in the arrest examination? I wonder if this will affect the judge's decision if he claimed it.

{이고}I think I would have insisted. The reason for this is that when lawyer Seok Dong-hyun said this morning what he would talk about today's warrant review, he said he would give the court a chance to correct it itself when lawyer Seok Dong-hyun appeared and interviewed the media earlier than President Yoon Suk Yeol. There are certainly issues with jurisdiction, and this does not constitute a rebellion, but there is no investigative power, and I have issued a warrant requested by an investigative agency that does not have such investigative power, so these parts are very wrong, and I hope this will be an opportunity for the court to correct them itself. Judging from this, I think he would have emphasized that the investigative agency and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit do not have the authority to investigate rebellion when making a legal claim. In the process, the Seoul Central District Court, not the Western District Court, has exclusive jurisdiction, and since it is illegal to obtain an arrest warrant under the Western District Court, it can be argued that all of this investigation, which was issued illegally, is illegal. So I think I would have argued for those parts. If so, will these arguments affect the conclusion of Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge in charge of the warrant hearing? I don't think I'll give it. The reason is that there have already been three court judgments. The Western District Court also issued two arrest warrants. It was also judged differently by the Seoul Central District Court and the Seoul Central District Court, which President Yoon Suk Yeol wanted, despite the generally not-so-prone request for an arrest suit, where jurisdiction is problematic because the arrest was deemed legitimate. It has no investigative power. These claims appear to have been made, but my personal opinion is that this is unlikely to be judged as any significant factor in deciding whether to issue an arrest warrant today.

[Anchor]
Anyway, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit investigated, but the prosecution has the power to prosecute the president. So anyway, if arrested, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution would divide the date and investigate, and at the end, the prosecution would investigate the president of Yoon Suk Yeol right before the indictment. At that time, will it be prosecuted in the Central District Court?

{이고}I think there is a high possibility that it will happen. If an arrest warrant is issued, for example, an arrest warrant will be issued by the Seoul Western District Court, but the prosecution has the right to prosecute the case because it is seen that the prosecution has no choice but to prosecute it to the Seoul Central District Court. Among the prosecutors, it is believed that the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office will probably prosecute President Yoon Suk Yeol. If you look at Article 5 of the Prosecutor's Office Act, the prosecutors of the prosecutor's office can only do the name of the corresponding court. In other words, prosecutors belonging to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office can perform the trial work of the corresponding court and the Seoul Central District Court. Therefore, if the prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office moves on to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and prosecutes it, the trial and maintenance of the prosecution can also be done against the Seoul Central District Court, so I think the prosecution will be the Seoul Central District Court. Then, is there no legal problem in this case? If you look at this part as well, when you look at the Public Offices Act, the Criminal Procedure Act, and the Prosecutor's Office Act, I think there is no legal defect. But it's very unusual. It's usually a trial in a court that issues a warrant and it's normal in a way, but I personally think it's an unusual case, but it's not a legal problem. And it is correct to hold a trial at the Seoul Central District Court. The reason is that all accomplices are now being tried at the Seoul Central District Court, and if only the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, who is suspected of being the head of the accomplices, is to be tried at the Seoul Western District Court, then the same witness must be called twice in two courts for questioning. And two courts can't come to a different conclusion. Therefore, as a result, I think it is more appropriate to hear it together at the Seoul Central Court because it is a case.

[Anchor]
I heard your answer.
