[Reporter]
Yes, it's a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

President Yoon continues to refuse to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

At around 3 p.m. yesterday, a day after President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent six people, including prosecutors and investigators, to the Seoul Detention Center to try to force them into custody.This is because President

Yoon refused to comply with the summons investigation one after another except on the day of his arrest on the 15th.

However, as President Yoon did not respond to the forced recruitment attempt, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit suspended the recruitment at around 9 p.m. last night, six hours later, in accordance with human rights protection regulations.

It seems that it cannot be enforced if the suspect does not agree to the late-night investigation.It is understood that President

Yoon was interviewing his lawyer, saying he was preparing for today's impeachment trial.

If President Yoon refuses to investigate, there will be a lot of difficulties in the investigation.

Will the Airborne try to force a job again?

[Reporter]
An official from the Airborne Division said criminal proceedings will continue, including a retrial of forced recruitment.

As job openings are possible without a limit on the number of times, you can try again today.

There is a possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit may try to investigate the detention center on a business trip if it is deemed difficult to find a compulsory recruitment.

However, it is unclear whether President Yoon will respond because he claims that the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is illegal and the forced recruitment is also illegal.

In this case, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit should hand over the case to the prosecution, which has the authority to prosecute, without completing the face-to-face investigation even after successful arrest and arrest of President Yoon.

If you look at the cashier of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit alone, there is a high possibility that the case will be handed over to the prosecution around the 28th.

It is understood that the Supreme Prosecutors' Office recently asked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to discuss the timing of sending the case.

[Anchor]
President Yoon also said he would attend the Constitutional Court instead of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's lawyers announced this after the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's attempt to recruit him was canceled.President Yoon

said earlier that he would leave soon by choosing an appropriate time for the impeachment trial, but did not specify a date.

However, he specifically stated that he would attend the 3rd pleading date at 2 p.m. today.If President

Yoon comes out today, he will be the first president ever indicted for impeachment to appear at the hearing date.President

Yoon stressed that the president would attend the impeachment trial in person if possible in the future.

[Anchor]
President Yoon is being detained in a detention center.

Do I have to talk to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to go on the impeachment trial date?

[Reporter]
The right to trial and the right to request a trial are constitutional rights, so it should be guaranteed even in the case of arrested suspects.

It is necessary to consult with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, but it is expected that it will be difficult to prevent President Yoon from attending the Constitutional Court in reality.

President Yoon issued a video message just before his arrest, but he did not stand in front of reporters after his arrest.

As such, we are also interested in what position we will express in the open court today and whether we will directly answer questions from the Constitutional Court.

The Constitutional Court was originally scheduled to investigate evidence, including CCTV footage of the NEC, submitted by the National Assembly today.

If President Yoon attends today, there is a possibility that he will hear a statement directly about the emergency martial law situation.
