The deadline for the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president, who is suspected of being the head of a rebellion, is today.

It is predicted that the Joint Investigation Headquarters will re-enforce the arrest warrant today, but it is also expected that it will not be easy.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Youngsoo Kim!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

Is there any movement on the scene?

[Reporter]
Yes, when the arrest warrant was attempted to be executed on the 3rd, the vehicle departed from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at around 6:10 a.m.

Not only us, but other reporters have been waiting since dawn in anticipation of this time, but no significant movement has been detected yet.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is said to have considered whether to re-enforce the arrest warrant until yesterday.

As it has failed once, it seems that he has considered ways to overcome the resistance of the security service.

If you conclude that the method is not appropriate, there is a possibility that the arrest warrant will not be re-executed today.

If you try to re-enforce an arrest warrant, it's likely to be more difficult than before, right?

[Reporter]
The position of the Office of the President's Security Service has become clearer and tougher.

Director of Security Park Jong-joon said yesterday that he was in front of the camera in an unusual way, and the security service said it was a dereliction of duty to comply with the execution of the warrant.

One of the grounds was the controversy over the investigation rights of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Regarding the execution of arrest warrants by the Joint Investigation Headquarters, Park stressed that there is a controversy over expediency and illegality and noted that the agents are taking legal steps to challenge the issuance of arrest warrants.

Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok also emphasized that the first security target of the Security Service is still the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.

Previously, barbed wire fences were seen on the side of the road to the presidential residence and on the side of the entrance.

Considering this, it can be said that the level of security has increased in preparation for the possibility of re-execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

[Anchor]
What happens next if you can't or won't execute an arrest warrant today?

[Reporter]
The next card that is likely to be mentioned is to request an arrest warrant right away.

The court's review of the warrant to determine whether to be arrested is possible without President Yoon's attendance.

It is a way to secure President Yoon's whereabouts by receiving one more court judgment,
There is a possibility that President Yoon, who denies the investigation itself by the
Airborne Division, will not respond to the issuance of an arrest warrant.

There is an analysis that it is possible to issue an arrest warrant just by investigating former Minister Kim Yong-hyun and other officials of martial law, but it is a risk that it can be dismissed.

If not, then we have the option to re-apply for an arrest warrant, effectively extending the term,

The atmosphere is slim so far, but coordinating the schedule of the summons investigation with the lawyer is not a card that has disappeared at all.

In addition, a plan to transfer the case back to the police could be considered to eliminate the debate over the right to investigate the rebellion, and in this case, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is likely to be criticized for wasting time without being able to properly investigate.
