The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has emphasized the need for an arrest investigation of President Yoon, but how will the process proceed afterwards?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which arrested President Yoon, is expected to launch a face-to-face investigation into him soon.

However, as President Yoon refused to investigate one after another, some observers say that he could conduct a business trip to the detention center or try to force President Yoon to the investigation room.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is scheduled to hold a briefing at 10 a.m. today, at which time the specific plan will be confirmed.The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which does not have the right to prosecute President

Yoon, will then have to hand over the case to the prosecution, as the two sides previously agreed to use the arrest period for 10 days.

After that, the prosecution is expected to conduct a reinforcement investigation and hand over President Yoon to trial in custody around the 4th or 5th of next month.

However, if President Yoon claims the unfairness of his arrest and requests an examination of his arrest suitability, there is a possibility that the timing will be pushed back.

So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
