Prosecutors investigating martial law have decided to hand over the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Specifically, it seems that further discussion is needed on how the investigation will be conducted.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Youngsoo Kim!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the special investigation headquarters of the prosecution.

[Anchor]
It's been organized in the morning.

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

This morning, it was reported that Senior Superintendent of Airborne Affairs Oh Dong-woon and Deputy Superintendent Lee Jin-dong of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office will meet.
It was said that there would be a discussion about the transfer of the
incident, but the results came out earlier than expected.

The prosecution and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent the same notice to the media at the same time.

The prosecution said it would hand over the case of the suspect, President Yoon Suk Yeol and former Minister Lee Sang-min to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

However, with the request of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the transfer of the remaining suspects has been withdrawn.

[Anchor]
So the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will be in charge of everything from summoning the president of Yoon Suk Yeol to investigating?

[Reporter]
First of all, the prosecution prosecutes the case for sure.

There is a set of targets for prosecution by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in the relevant law, but the president is not included in this.It seems necessary to discuss the overall investigation, including the summoning of President

Yoon.

You can think of a way for prosecutors to join the investigation of President Yoon's summons, but the prosecution reads the negative trend.

An official of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office said, "Although we consult well with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the presence of prosecutors does not seem to be appropriate."

In addition, statements from military officials such as former Minister Kim Yong-hyun who received direct orders or Yeo In-hyeong counterintelligence commander may be needed to prove President Yoon's allegations.

Everyone is arrested by the prosecution, so we need to wait and see how the consultation will proceed.

Now that the investigative agency for the president has been organized, I'm curious about the position of the lawyers?

[Reporter]
I think I'll be able to listen to it tomorrow.

Before the lawyers were set up, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, a close aide of President Yoon Suk Yeol, decided to meet with reporters again tomorrow following yesterday.

Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun mentioned earlier that the investigation between the prosecution and the police is so competitive that it needs to be sorted out.

It's not an official briefing, but as lawyer Seok is involved in forming the defense team,
It is expected that the
lawyers will be able to confirm their position on the transfer or summons investigation of the case of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

[Anchor]
First of all, the prosecution is continuing to investigate, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, we summoned the special commander of the special forces who claimed to hold a press conference after the martial law.

Kim Hyun-tae, head of the 707 Special Task Force, came to the prosecution today as a reference and is being investigated.

General Manager Kim previously claimed that all members of the unit were used by former Minister Kim Yong-hyun.

Since General Manager Kim has commanded troops sent to the National Assembly according to the upper order since martial law was declared,
The prosecution is expected to ask about how the troops were deployed and the situation of the command afterwards.

So far, the special prosecution has delivered it.
