Park Jong-joon, the head of the Presidential Security Service, who has been blocking the execution of arrest warrants against President Yoon Suk Yeol, attended the police today (10th) as a suspect for obstructing the execution of special public affairs.
Director Park attended the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency in Migeun-dong, Seoul, at 10 a.m. today, the deadline for the third summons.
Director Park told reporters at the meeting that the investigation process suitable for the current presidential status should proceed, and that he does not think it is the current method of executing arrest warrants.
At the same time, he said he hopes that the proper investigation process against the president will proceed in accordance with the national character of Korea.
He also said that many people would be worried about the current confrontation and conflict between government agencies, and that no physical conflict or bloodshed should occur in any case.
Asked why he would block the legally issued warrant, Director Park said there were many different opinions legally, and he thought there would be a legal debate during the investigation process about the legality of the warrant.
As for the reason for refusing to appear twice earlier, he explained that he had decided to respond to the police investigation from the beginning, but the defense team was a little delayed in preparation, so he was present today.
At the same time, he stressed that the police should respect the status of the police as an investigative agency, saying that if his family refuses to summon the police and is not investigated, who will be investigated by the police?
