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.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was waiting at the detention center while President Yoon was receiving hospital treatment, but I am interested in whether he will be forced to seek detention again today.
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 forcibly detain President Yoon, who was detained in a detention center, but it failed.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said 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.
It was found that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was planning to conduct a visit investigation inside the detention center if it was difficult to find a compulsory arrest.
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.
However, in connection with the failure of the investigation due to President Yoon's visit to the hospital,
It is pointed out that there is a problem that the
Airborne Department has not even identified the suspect's movement.

Will the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit be forced back today?
[Reporter]
Yes, Director of Airborne Oh Dong-woon will hold a brief press conference on his way to work a little later.
Yoon is expected to take a stand against criticism that there is no progress in the investigation of President Yoon.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit rushed to the detention center to investigate President Yoon, who did not even return yesterday, because the case must be handed over to the prosecution around the 28th.
We don't have much time left.
With the deadline for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's investigation of President Yoon approaching,
We will tell you again as soon as we hear the details of how Director Oh Dong-woon plans to lead the investigation in the future.

President Yoon's position on the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit remains unchanged, right?
[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.
This means 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, but it is still unclear if it will be able to produce results.
