As President Yoon Suk Yeol said he would attend the impeachment hearing this afternoon, the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office failed to appear today.

Yesterday afternoon, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit decided to ban both the receipt and sending of President Yoon's letters.

After all, the morning investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also failed, right?

[Reporter]
Since there is not much time left before the case is handed over to the prosecution, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit reviewed whether the investigation would be possible even this morning.

However, as President Yoon said he would attend the impeachment hearing at 2 p.m. today, it became difficult to recruit him in the morning.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit held a briefing this morning and explained that the decision was made in consideration of the afternoon schedule.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also replied that it sent a decision to ban the letter to the Seoul Detention Center at around 3 p.m. yesterday.

The decision was taken into consideration of concerns over the destruction of evidence, which prevented President Yoon from exchanging letters with everyone, including his wife, Kim Gun-hee.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tried to force a recruitment yesterday, but it failed in six hours.

You also revealed why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is focusing its efforts on face-to-face investigations, right?

[Reporter]
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said, "President Yoon is also an incumbent president, but he is a suspect from the perspective of the investigative agency, and the investigation of the suspect is a natural duty of the investigative agency."

Therefore, he said that even if he does not respond to the investigation or does not seem willing to respond, of course, he should try.

As far as I know, it has not been considered whether to consider a written investigation, he said, showing his willingness to continue to attempt a face-to-face investigation.

President Yoon said he would continue to appear at the Constitutional Court in the future if possible,
The Airborne Department said it would do its best to investigate this as well.

If the investigation is not carried out, there will be a lot of difficulties in the investigation.

What will happen to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in the future?

[Reporter]
There is a possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit may attempt to investigate the detention center if the forced recruitment is difficult.

In fact, in the case of former presidents who were arrested in the past, most of them were conducted in detention centers and prisons due to security issues.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that since it is a principle to conduct an investigation in the investigation room, it was not a door-to-door investigation but a forced recruitment first.

However, it is also unclear whether President Yoon will respond to the visit investigation because he claims that the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit itself is 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.
