The president of Yoon Suk Yeol cannot admit to the charge of rebellion, and the president says he is confident about the emergency martial law situation.

The prosecution is continuing its investigation by launching a large-scale search and seizure of the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters and the Ministry of National Defense.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Lee Kyung-guk!

Please tell us first what position President Yoon Suk Yeol's side has expressed with reporters today.

[Reporter]
Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who is participating in the formation of Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential lawyers, met with reporters one after another today to answer questions.Lawyer

said he cannot admit that the declaration of emergency martial law is a civil war, and President Yoon also expressed his intention to stand up to it, whether it is an investigation or impeachment.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Seok Dong-hyun / Attorney (Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Legal Adviser): I have already apologized to the public for something that shocked them. (But) I have a clear and confident position on various issues and issues that will be controversial in the future..]

President Yoon then explained that he judged the political situation as an emergency when martial law was declared, and that he expected President Yoon to express his belief himself when the Constitutional Court's trial begins.

Regarding the alleged arrest of key figures, including politicians, which will be a watershed moment in proving the charges of rebellion, the president denied that he had "never even taken out the body of the arrest."

However, lawyer Seok avoided an immediate answer on whether to respond to the request for attendance by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, saying that the lawyers will answer in the future.Some analysts say that President Yoon

is engaged in an all-round public opinion war over his public stance to the media.

Let's also look at the prosecution's investigation.

You went on a big raid today?

[Reporter]
Yes, the special prosecution is conducting a search and seizure of officials from the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, Yeongdeungpo Police Station, and the Ministry of National Defense Investigation Headquarters.

The prosecution explained that it was to investigate the alleged activities of the arrest team at the time of the emergency martial law.

The prosecution suspects that since the declaration of the emergency martial law on the 3rd, the Defense Security Command has contacted the National Defense Headquarters for so-called "arrest assistance" activities, and that the actual police have deployed personnel.

Although it has been decided to transfer the case of President Yoon Suk Yeol to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the special prosecution is showing its willingness to investigate the emergency martial law case.

As such, the atmosphere against the decision of the transfer was read inside the special edition yesterday.

Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung decided to transfer the case to ensure that there was no controversy in the process, and then appeased the prosecutors, saying that if the case is transferred to the prosecution, the final investigation will be conducted by a special prosecutor.

Even if we go through an investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, we have to hand over the case to the prosecution in order to prosecute President Yoon, but is there a possibility that we will go to the special prosecution rather than the prosecution?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the authority to prosecute, so it should investigate President Yoon and eventually hand it over to the prosecution, but the case may go to the special prosecution, not the prosecution.

If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit investigates President Yoon and quickly requests an arrest warrant to secure a new person before the launch of the special prosecution, the case is expected to be transferred to the prosecution.

This is because under the Criminal Procedure Act, if the suspect is not prosecuted within 20 days after arrest, the suspect must be released.

However, if the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is delayed and a special prosecutor is launched in the meantime, the special prosecutor, not the prosecution, is expected to have virtually all investigation and prosecution powers.

In the end, the speed of the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the timing of the launch of the special prosecutor are expected to be variables in the future investigation related to President Yoon.

So far, I'm YTN Lee Kyung-guk at the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Prosecution Service.
