With President Yoon Suk Yeol refusing to comply with the second summons, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to reinforce the data to demand a third attendance.
However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has not yet received the investigation data of key figures related to President Yoon's charges from the prosecution.
A war of nerves between investigative agencies continues.

Rather than requesting an arrest warrant for President Yoon right away, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit seems to be putting more weight on asking for a third appearance.
It means we will conduct the investigation after more thorough preparation,
It seems to be the background that we have not yet received all the major investigation data from the prosecution.About a week after the decision to transfer President Yoon's case
, the prosecution sent basic data such as a complaint to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, but
It has been found that the investigation data of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and military leaders, who are key suspects
, have not been handed over.
However, from the perspective of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, it is necessary to secure as many statements and evidence as possible for the investigation of President Yoon, who has been pointed out as the peak of the emergency martial law case and the number of civil war.
In particular, they say they need data from key figures related to President Yoon's charges, but the prosecution says it has sent all the data to be handed over.
As the subject of the transfer was the case of President Yoon in the first place and investigations are underway on other suspects, further cooperation is a matter to be decided through consultation in the future.
In the end, the prosecution and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit are expected to continue their war of nerves over the scope of cooperation, including major investigation records, for the time being.
At the same time, the prosecution and the police suspect each other of their involvement in martial law and put each other on the line of investigation, so there is a prospect that the battle for leadership between the prosecution and the police will continue.
