high-ranking public official's crime investigation office. Reporter Lee Kyung-guk!President Yoon
has once again expressed his position that he will refuse to comply with the request for investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit informed President Yoon at the Seoul Detention Center today to come out and be investigated by 2 p.m., a little later.
It was the first request for attendance since the arrest warrant was issued.Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon
, said it is difficult to attend and that he has nothing more to say to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
In fact, he hinted that he would refuse to comply with the future investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.While President
Yoon refuses all investigations after the day of his arrest, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to consider visiting the detention center to investigate or forcibly bringing in President Yoon.
First of all, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that in the case of forced recruitment, there are no clear regulations, and the investigation of the detention center visit is not decided at this stage.
If today's investigation fails, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to decide on a countermeasure after internal discussions.

When will the case be transferred to the prosecution?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can investigate the president, but it has no power to bring him to trial.
So, we previously agreed with the prosecution to use about 10 out of 20 days of detention.
However, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that it is difficult to say definitively how long the arrest period will be due to the possibility of interpretation of the relevant law, and explained that the timing of turning over the case will also be decided after watching the investigation.Although President Yoon's lawyer
did not officially disclose it, it is highly likely that he will seek an arrest suit similar to an arrest suit.
Even considering these variables, there is a possibility that the case will be transferred to the prosecution by the 24th.

Earlier, President Yoon strongly opposed the court's decision to issue an arrest warrant, right?
[Reporter]
President Yoon protested in a statement, saying that the rule of law died and the conscience of the law disappeared.
Usually, when the court's judgment comes out, it often makes a position that 'respects the judgment of the judiciary',
President Yoon strongly criticized it as a false arrest warrant that is difficult to even bring up.
He then refuted the court's reason for issuing a warrant, saying there was no evidence to be eliminated and no influence.President Yun
raised the level of criticism of the judiciary, but said he would never give up and that he would correct his mistakes in future judicial proceedings.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit immediately started to refute the resistance from the lawyers?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit expressed strong regret, saying that President Yoon's lawyers issued a statement to deny the rule of law.
In particular, he said he was issued an arrest warrant in accordance with due process, and pointed out that if it is not acceptable, it can be done according to the appeals or relief procedures set by the judicial system.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also stressed that the issuance of an arrest warrant is a prerequisite that the crime has been clarified.
So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
