The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it could execute the president's arrest warrant as early as today, but when did it officially say it would be done?

[Reporter]
As you said, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it would inform reporters when the arrest warrant is executed, but so far, nothing has been announced.

The deadline for President Yoon's arrest warrant is the 6th.

Earlier, an official from the Airborne Division said there was no reason to wait until the weekend, and if the execution fails, it may have to be tried again, so there is still a possibility of execution this afternoon.

The main execution site is the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Earlier, Airborne Minister Oh Dong-woon also said he would execute the warrant according to principle, but said he would keep his manners.

When an arrest warrant is executed, what procedures will it go through?

[Reporter]
First, prosecutors and investigators from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit who requested an arrest warrant will go to the execution site with the original warrant.

After that, he presents an arrest warrant to President Yoon, explains the reason, and notifies him of the so-called "Miranda Principles."

After that, we will move to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and investigate, which has prepared a 100-page questionnaire.

After the investigation, he will be imprisoned at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and will seek an arrest warrant before 48 hours have passed.

The president is strongly protesting?

[Reporter]
Yes, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun, defending President Yoon, once again made it clear to YTN that the warrant itself was invalid.

While filing a provisional injunction with the Constitutional Court, he answered that the authority under the Security Act would be legally exercised.

It seems that he indicated that he would prevent the execution of the warrant through the security service.

They also argued that it is illegal for a police task force to come forward during the arrest process.

The warrant has already been issued.

President Yoon's charge, shall we point it out again?

[Reporter]
Yes, the charges stated in the presidential warrant are the head of the rebellion and abuse of authority.

The investigative agency believes that after declaring an emergency martial law on the 3rd of last month, it sent troops and police to the National Assembly and the National Election Commission to paralyze the function of an independent constitutional institution.

After martial law, it was also revealed that he ordered the arrest of key politicians, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, and former People's Power leader Han Dong-hoon.

President Yoon himself ordered 'to break down the door even by shooting and bring down the lawmakers.'Or
There was even a flood of testimony saying, 'You can declare the martial law two or three times,
.

Recently, the prosecution also indicted former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and others, pointing out that the president is at the top of all civil war crimes.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee of YTN at the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
