What's the state of the court like now?

[Reporter]
Recovery efforts are underway, but there are still signs of riots.

The signboard at the back gate was uprooted, and the windows were also shattered and barely blocked with plastic planks.The outer wall tiles of building

are also broken here and there.

Security has also been strengthened on the sidewalk in front of the main gate, with police blocking and restricting traffic.

The anxiety of the residents who often pass here has also increased, so let's hear from them.

[Kim Hyo-soon / Ahyun-dong, Seoul: You don't follow personal order and throw trash around and scream. I think it's a wrong move, regardless of the pros and cons.]
Early yesterday (19th), when an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol
, furious supporters of President Yoon stormed the court and broke down his office and furniture.

Since then, the court has carried out emergency restoration work and has been operating normally today without postponement of the trial.

However, outside vehicles cannot enter the building, and visitors can enter after checking the case number and identification.

Also, for the security of the building, we will not provide simple civil service counseling until this Friday.

Today, reporters were allowed to enter the building after confirming that they were reporters, but from tomorrow, access will be restricted except for employees and trial parties.

How's the restoration going?

[Reporter]
There are many damaged parts, so it will take some time for the court to find its original appearance.

We finished cleaning the large waste yesterday, and today we plan to clean the details of the building and remove the broken outer wall tiles in places.

As a temporary measure, the court plans to put sandwich panels on the outer wall for two days starting tomorrow, and replace them with the same finishing materials as the existing tiles around March.

In addition, it is expected that it will take about three more days to replace the window.

The CCTV inside the damaged building is also being restored.

The investigative agency also announced a hard-line response policy, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said it arrested 90 people for collective illegal activities in front of the Seoul Western District Court and the Constitutional Court over the weekend.

Police said they have been applying for arrest warrants since yesterday for 66 people, including all 46 who broke into the court building and 10 who obstructed the execution of official duties by blocking a vehicle from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Five of them filed an arrest warrant at the Western District Prosecutors' Office last night and were examined today.

Both the police and the prosecution plan to set up a team in charge of the incident and investigate it strictly.

Fifty-one police officers were injured during the crackdown, including seven seriously injured,
In addition to the
special building intrusion and obstruction of public affairs, there is also a possibility that a crime of up to 10 years in prison may be applied.

There were many people in their 20s and 30s who were arrested this time, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the police explained that the age range of 90 people arrested as active offenders ranges from teenagers to people in their 70s,

In particular, more than half of those in their 20s and 30s are 46 people.

In addition, three YouTubers were confirmed to be among those arrested for breaking into the court.

Police said they will thoroughly analyze YouTube videos and evidence data to identify additional illegal actors in addition to the 90 people arrested so far.

He also stressed that he will thoroughly track down and punish those who encouraged or aided in the crime.
