Please explain the situation in which the execution of the arrest warrant was canceled.

[Reporter]
The high-ranking government official's crime investigation office said it suspended the execution of the arrest warrant at around 1:30 p.m. today after confronting the police and others at its official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.I deeply regret the attitude of the suspect who did not comply with the procedures under the

Act, he also expressed this position.

"Future actions will be decided after review."

About 150 people, including 30 from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and 120 from the police, executed the arrest warrant at the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, today.

There were also 2,700 experienced people in case of an emergency.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained the situation on the ground in detail, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

After the execution of the arrest warrant was canceled, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit held a back briefing in the afternoon.

In summary, it is understood that there were three lines of blocking in all.

First of all, there was a bus behind the guard post's iron gate, and about 50 security guards were here.

Here, the deputy head of the security service came out and mentioned that he would protect them according to the security law, according to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

When I went up 100 to 150 meters through this, the bus was blocking it again.

You can look at this as the second cordon.

There was no way to get in here, so I turned around the mountain path and went in.

The last stop was the third stop, and there were more than 10 vehicles and about 200 people gathered here, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained.

About 200 security guards were blocked from entering with their arms folded.

And after consultation, only three prosecutors went to the front of the official residence and met with two lawyers for President Yoon.

[Anchor]
So the people who ran the warrant didn't even meet the president, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

He attempted to execute an arrest warrant, but eventually returned without meeting President Yoon Suk Yeol.

As explained earlier, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that he met only President Yoon's lawyer.

This lawyer can be presumed to be Yoon Gap-geun and Kim Hong-il.

Earlier in the day, the two lawyers were seen entering the official residence. When the three prosecutors and their lawyers met, they talked about the execution of the warrant, and the lawyers repeated the existing claim that it was an illegal warrant.

And the lawyers said they would give a senior appointment and mentioned it to the effect that they could discuss the subsequent procedure.

We are unable to execute the warrant issued by the court, so what about the measures afterwards?

[Reporter]
This is the position that we will decide after reviewing everything, including the re-execution of the arrest warrant.

However, in response to obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant today, the Dong-A Ilbo said it booked the head of the security and the deputy head of the department on charges of obstructing the execution of special public affairs and demanded his attendance tomorrow.

As I said, there were about three cordons at the scene, and it was confirmed that military troops were deployed everywhere.

The police special team said that there was a physical fight with these troops and interfered with the execution of the arrest warrant.

The police said they would also consider whether these troops would be booked.

However, it has been found that no one has been arrested as a current offender at the scene today.

Earlier, you broke the news that the police tried to arrest the head of the security service as a red offender in the process of executing the arrest warrant.

So, I tried to arrest him as a current offender because he was obstructing the execution of public affairs, and I consulted with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and I heard that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit prosecutor was dissuaded.

After such a report came out, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit expressed its position.

He explained that it was a comprehensive judgment to not allow the arrest of a security official.

He explained that he executed the warrant under the policy of minimizing mishaps because the manpower was confronting.

To tell you the overall atmosphere, the police will execute the arrest warrant today. I think that's why he took a hard line.

From the perspective of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, it seems that the prosecutor was at the scene and did not go to the arrest of the current criminal by judging the comprehensive situation.

So, it seems that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was a little cautious.

Shall we summarize what happened today?

[Reporter]
The area around the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has been very busy since 6 a.m. today.

Since then, a lot of reporters have gathered.

At around 6:14, a vehicle from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was spotted leaving here.

About an hour later, the camera captured the footage of the vehicle arriving at the official residence of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

After that, the investigators got off at around 07:53 and started consulting with the security service. Just after 8 o'clock, investigators were confirmed to enter the inside of the official residence.

I'm going to execute an arrest warrant. It's at this point that this was announced.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit announced that the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol began around 8:03 a.m.

As explained earlier, the air conditioner has since penetrated the first and second cordons, and it seems to be around 9:50 p.m.

After a long confrontation, at around 1:30 p.m., Cho Dong-bon informed the media that the execution of the arrest warrant would be suspended.

The announcement was made by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in seven and a half hours, based on the time it was introduced to the execution, that is, the time it arrived in front of the official residence and started executing the arrest warrant, so it was withdrawn in five and a half hours.
