, said he has filed a power dispute trial on an arrest warrant and a provisional injunction for suspension of its effect to the Constitutional Court.Attorney

Yoon explained that the court issued an arrest warrant in connection with the declaration of emergency martial law, an act of high governance, violating the president's authority to rule and privilege of non-arrest.

He also argued that the arrest warrant was illegal and invalid, saying that it was against the rule of law for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which does not have the authority to investigate, to request a warrant.

He expressed regret that it was also contrary to principle and precedent to request an arrest warrant from the Seoul Western District Court, not the Seoul Central District Court, where the original trial is expected.

In response to the criticism that it is possible to ignore the request for attendance, some argued that they are suffering damage because they are in power.

It is unusual to seek a power dispute trial for an arrest warrant itself, and there is a possibility that the claim may be dismissed after the expiration date of January 6, which is expected to be difficult for the Constitutional Court to conclude before then.
