With 200 meters left to the official residence, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the special police investigation team were blocked by human walls made by more than 200 personnel from the security service.
They offered arrest and search warrants and sought cooperation, but the stacked walls could not be broken down and the confrontation grew longer.
In the end, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which is the main body of the warrant execution, decided to withdraw, and it was found that disagreements between the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police Special Forces were protruding in the process.
The special police team tried to push ahead with the execution of the warrant even by arresting Park Jong-joon, the head of the security service, but
The Airborne Prosecutor executing the
warrant was put on hold when he refused to give permission.
In this regard, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that the execution of the warrant was carried out under the policy of minimizing mishaps at the scene, saying that it was a comprehensive judgment in consideration of the confrontation situation at the time and the number of on-site personnel.
It seems that the arrest of a top security guard has taken into account the possibility of a collision with a security guard with a weapon.
After disallowing the police from executing the warrant, the Airborne Division decided to suspend the execution of the warrant in five and a half hours due to concerns about accidents, and the special team was also found to be negative about the decision to withdraw.
Inside the special forces, some say they are disappointed that President Yoon Suk Yeol's acquisition of recruits ended hopelessly.
An official said, "Once I stepped back, it was not easy to enter again, so I should have done as much as I could."
Another official said
was concerned that "the Airborne Division and the police may not appear to have the will to investigate."
Instead, shortly after the execution of the warrant was suspended, the special team immediately launched an investigation, booking Chief Park and Deputy Security Officer Kim Sung-hoon on charges of obstructing the execution of special public affairs.
He also notified him to attend and undergo an investigation, but he is expected to decide his policy in the future after seeing how Director Park and others respond.
