With the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, the eyes are on the presidential security service.

The security agency has warned that security measures will be taken in accordance with due process, raising the possibility of a conflict in the execution process.

Reporter Cho Yong-sung reports.

The presidential security office has been discussing countermeasures since a warrant for arrest was requested following a request for summons of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.

When the warrant was issued, I immediately issued a statement.

"We understand that 'protection measures' will be taken in accordance with due process regarding the execution of the warrant," the security service said.

The investigative agency's attempt to arrest the president is unprecedented and is an internal conclusion,

There is room for interpretation to mean that it will physically prevent the execution of a warrant by the police.

The Presidential Security Act stipulates that the security service can recognize that it is necessary to perform its duties, and that the use of weapons is possible if deemed unavoidable.

The security agency has been preventing the seizure and search of the presidential office and others based on the Criminal Procedure Act, which states that places requiring military secrets cannot be seized or searched without the consent of the person in charge.

However, the fact that the court issued an arrest warrant for the incumbent president on charges of rebellion is a burden for the security service.

The security service did not provide a clear explanation as to whether it would prevent the police from executing the warrant, so the actual execution process will have to be watched.

The execution of the warrant could be disrupted if President Yoon, who has avoided the summoning investigation even though he said he would stand up to the investigation with confidence, voluntarily does not come out of his official residence.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President (last 12th): Whether it's impeachment or investigation, I'm going to stand up to it. I have already said that I will not avoid the issue of legal and political responsibility.

Unlike the presidential security service, the presidential office has not taken a particular position on issuing arrest warrants.


He is not involved in the investigation of President Yoon and the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court, and he is not in contact with the lawyers who respond to it.
