The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office launched a compulsory arrest against President Yoon Suk Yeol last evening (21st), but it was canceled again.Some point out that there is no progress in the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, although President

Yoon was waiting in the detention center while receiving hospital treatment.

There is a reporter on the scene.

Reporter Kwon Junsu,

The Airborne Division went to the Seoul Detention Center yesterday, but they couldn't proceed with the investigation?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit visited the Seoul Detention Center last evening to investigate President Yoon once again, but it failed to proceed this time.

Two days ago, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tried to force President Yoon, who was detained in a detention center, but it failed.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said in a press corps notice that the investigation was not conducted as President Yoon returned to the detention center after 9 p.m. after the Constitutional Court hearing.

According to the human rights protection regulations, it is impossible to conduct a late-night investigation after 9 p.m. without the consent of the suspect.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit attempts to force President Yoon to return to the Seoul Detention Center after the Constitutional Court's impeachment hearing,

If it was difficult, it was found that the government was planning to conduct a visit investigation in the detention center.

To this end, it has been confirmed that related procedures have also been carried out, such as sending an official letter to the Seoul Detention Center for cooperation in the investigation room.

After all, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit didn't even know President Yoon's movements?

[Reporter]
Yes, due to President Yoon's unexpected visit to the hospital, the investigation was not conducted.

It is pointed out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was not even able to grasp the suspect's movements.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit urgently headed to the detention center to investigate President Yoon, who has not even returned, because the case must be handed over to the prosecution around the 28th.

There is not much time left, so there is not enough time to investigate President Yoon.

What is President Yoon's position?

[Reporter]
Yes, Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon, said he believes it is difficult to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit as it is now.

It seems to mean that we will continue to refuse to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in the future.

Earlier, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit conducted its first investigation when President Yoon was arrested on the 15th, but since then, President Yoon has refused to comply with all investigations by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit for two days.

Even after he was arrested at dawn three days ago, he continued to refuse to notify the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit of his request for attendance.

The Airborne is likely to continue to investigate, however, and it remains unclear if it can produce results.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that they will discuss the future schedule again and decide.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
