On his way to work today, Oh Dong-woon, head of the Criminal Investigation Department for high-ranking government officials, will announce his position on the investigation of Yoon Suk Yeol's president.

Let's go to the scene.

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
The situation in the building was so bad that I made you suffer outside the fence, so I was very upset. Let's start



On January 19, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is suspected of being the head of a rebellion, after investigating in accordance with the law and principles in the December 3 illegal emergency martial law case.

For smooth prosecution and trial in the future, we will closely consult with related agencies such as the prosecution to fulfill the role and responsibility of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

However, I am very sorry that the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court that issued the warrant were invaded by illegal violence.

In the process, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the injured police officers and court officials.

I hope that this will never happen again, seriously undermining the rule of law.

I think the president also needs to respect the judiciary's decision.

Any objections can be followed by an objection procedure within the boundaries of the law and order.

In the future, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will strictly investigate those who participated in the emergency martial law case regardless of their status.

Thank you.

Is there any chance of retrying Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Enforcement?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
I'm going to try to force you in today.

We are inevitably seeking compulsory recruitment because we are not responding to various summonses.

[Reporter]
Is there anything set specifically this morning or this afternoon?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
We will try to find as many jobs as possible within today.

[Reporter]
It is pointed out that forced recruitment is no longer effective, what do you think about this?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
However, in December of last year, he refused to comply with the summons, and in January of this year, he refused to comply with the arrest warrant summons.

I think it is right for our Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to show their utmost efforts within the boundaries of the law and order.

[Reporter]
When did you recognize President Yoon's visit to the hospital yesterday?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was not aware of it in advance, but it was similar to hide-and-seek, and we thought it was not appropriate to go to the hospital in various human rights aspects, so we waited for a job at the detention center.

[Reporter]
However, some point out that President Yoon's move is aimed at avoiding the investigation.

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
That's how we see it to a certain extent.

As far as I know, our investigation team waited until 9 p.m. yesterday for a job offer and then arrived at the detention center after that time.

So I'm very sorry about that.

[Reporter]
You said you were trying to get a compulsory job, so should we prepare for a visit to the detention center discussion?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
We will do our best to find a job and try to summon as much as possible, including on-site surveys.

[Reporter] You said you even sent an official letter of cooperation to the
Detention Center, but I wonder if the correctional authorities and the detention center are not cooperating.

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
The correctional authorities are cooperating in their own way. However, the suspect is not responding to the investigation, and we will try to persuade him as much as possible.

[Reporter]
How far did the prosecution discuss the timing of sending the case?

[Dongwoon Oh / Director of Criminal Investigation]
Regarding the sending, we are communicating with the prosecution as much as possible. We will handle it as soon as possible so that there is no shortage in various procedures.
