Today, the deadline for the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president, the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office notified the police to take responsibility for the re-execution of the warrant.

The police are reviewing whether there are any legal problems.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Lim Yejin!

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said they'd appoint the police to execute the warrant, right?

[Reporter]
Today, the deadline for the execution of President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant, attention has been paid to whether the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is attempting a second execution,
The National Investigation Headquarters of the
Police Agency said last night (5th) that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter to the National Investigation Headquarters appointing President Yoon Suk Yeol to execute an arrest warrant.

It is an official document titled 'Arrest Warrant and Search Warrant Execution Command' under the name of Deputy Chief of Public Offices Lee Jae-seung,

In consideration of the expertise of enforcement, the National Police Agency will delegate the execution of the warrant to the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency to facilitate a quick and efficient process.

In addition, it was found that today it was written that it would apply to the court to extend the validity of the arrest and search warrant.

What's the police's position?

[Reporter]
An official from the National Defense Headquarters said to YTN, "The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has said that it will entrust the execution of the warrant without any discussion in advance."

When attempting to execute an arrest warrant for President Yoon on the 3rd, there was also a physical conflict between the Joint Investigation Headquarters and the Security Service, consisting of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police Special Investigation Team.
As the Airborne of
does not have the authority to direct the police, it seems to mean that the police should take the helm and use their career to arrest President Yoon.

Since the warrant is valid until today, attention has been paid to whether the execution will take place today, but the police only explained that they are reviewing the law on the request of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

As it is not an issue that has been discussed in advance, it is unlikely that the police will be able to enforce it today.

Currently, 480 task force personnel have been deployed to maintain order around the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, less than one-fifth of the last three days when the first execution attempt was made.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
