President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was arrested on charges of "insurrection leader," did not respond to the first summons of a high-ranking government official to the Criminal Investigation Office since his arrest.

The high-ranking government official's crime investigation office notified President Yoon to come to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at 2 p.m. today (19th), to be investigated, but President Yoon was not present.

In response, Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon, said that today's investigation is difficult, let alone at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

On the president's position that "a false warrant has been issued," the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit stressed that the issuance of the warrant is based on the premise that the crime has been identified, and that it is deeply sorry for making a position to deny the rule of law without trying to follow the procedures set by the law.Regarding the arrest period of President

Yoon, he said, "We agreed to spend 20 days each with the prosecution, but we need to decide when to turn over the case based on the investigation."

He also added that yesterday (18th) near the Seoul Western District Court, he plans to strongly respond to protesters assaulting investigators of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and damaging vehicles.
