Has the official position of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit come out yet?

[Reporter]
First of all, there was a line of notice under the name of the Joint Investigation Headquarters.

It was announced that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter to the police last night stating that it was entrusted with the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol.

According to our coverage, the Airborne Division seems to be in the position that only the execution of the warrant is handed over to the police.

It seems that the wavelength of the absence of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was not expected to be this large.

After the news broke, Oh Dong-woon, the head of the airborne division, went to work and reporters followed him, but he could not hear any position.

Prosecutors have been explaining the background of this incident, including Deputy Prosecutor Lee Jae-seung of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

To summarize, the reason why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit entrusted the police to execute the arrest warrant is to ensure the uniformity of the on-site command system.

It also said it took into account the fact that there are about 50 personnel from the Airborne Division, so it is not practically helpful in executing the warrant.

He also explained the legal basis, and as stated in the Criminal Procedure Act, the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can also direct police officers and judicial police officers.

This is a legal part, so we will organize it a little more and deliver it to you after the briefing.

Is it legally possible to appoint only an arrest warrant?

[Reporter]
We've heard a lot of legal opinions earlier.

There is no disagreement that it is unusual to appoint an arrest warrant to the police.

In addition, the public prosecutor's office is widely interpreted as not legally possible because it does not have the authority to command judicial police officers, but the Public Prosecutor's Office Act states that they can receive support for investigation activities by prosecutors or police, which claims that the public prosecutor of the public prosecutor's office cannot lead the police.

Some pointed out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit arbitrarily interprets the Criminal Procedure Act.

There were even criticisms that it was too technical.

So is there a possibility that the president of Yoon Suk Yeol will respond to the execution of the arrest warrant?

[Reporter]
For now, I don't think so.

Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, strongly criticized this case, saying, "Is it subcontracting the construction?"

He pointed out how to transfer the execution of the warrant when he did not have the right to command the investigation.

Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun also stressed that in a word, it is lawless and that he admitted to illegal investigation.

President Yoon's opposition and criticism are expected to intensify in the future.
