As the prosecution and the Joint Investigation Headquarters, which are competing to lead the investigation, simultaneously summon President Yoon,

Now the choice is left to President Yoon.Whichever president

Yoon chooses remains controversial.

If you attend the prosecution, which is your home, controversy over fairness is inevitable.

[Lee Sung-yoon / Member of the Democratic Party of Korea (National Assembly Judiciary Committee, 11th): Park Se-hyun (Director of Special Investigation Division) is the head of international cooperation at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office when Yoon Suk Yeol was president. (Other investigative prosecutors) were all people who worked with the Yoon Suk Yeol in the special investigation team on state affairs.]

On the other hand, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has been criticized for its lack of investigative capabilities,
The problem is that there is no right to prosecute the crime of rebellion in
.

[Kwak Kyu-taek / National Assembly Judiciary Committee member (last 11, National Assembly Judiciary Committee): I don't think the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office, which is already criticized for its lack of investigation capabilities, should interfere with the investigation quickly because of its greed for this case.]

Even if the prosecution transfers the case as requested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit conducts a summons investigation on President Yoon,
The final decision on whether to prosecute
is ultimately up to the prosecution.

There is a possibility that President Yoon, who previously stated in a public statement that the investigation into the rebellion itself is unfair, will refuse to investigate in the future.

Amid growing interest in whether an unprecedented recall of a sitting president will take place
There is also a possibility that President Yoon's side will point out the problem of the investigative agency's unusual 'double summons'.
