The police emergency martial law special investigation team made a third request to Park Jong-joon, the head of the security department, who is accused of blocking the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon.

The police are also willing to actively arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol if the arrest warrant is issued again.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Yoon Woong Sung!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.

Director of Security Park Jong-joon twice refused to comply with the police's request for attendance. The police made a third call for attendance?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Park Jong-joon did not respond to the police's request for the second round of attendance scheduled for 10 a.m. today (7th).

The security service announced its intention not to attend just before the scheduled time of the investigation, saying Director Park did not appoint a lawyer.

Even after the first arrest warrant for President Yoon failed earlier, the police notified Minister Park to appear on charges of obstructing the execution of the warrant, but Minister Park refused, saying the security work was a serious time.

Accordingly, the police asked Director Park to come out by 10 a.m. this Friday for a third appearance.

In addition, Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, who once refused to comply with the request for attendance, also sent a request for attendance to come out by 2 p.m. on the same day.

The police are also reportedly considering applying for an arrest warrant if Director Park does not comply with the third request for attendance.

The police are also preparing for the possibility of issuing an arrest warrant for President Yoon?

[Reporter]
Yes, the police seem to be focusing on working out an enforcement plan on the premise that a second arrest warrant will be issued.

At the time of the first execution, the Joint Investigation Headquarters put in about 150 people, but they returned empty-handed after being blocked by the Presidential Security Service and the security forces.

As the security service has recently strengthened its guard, such as installing circular barbed wire, more people are forced to be mobilized for the second execution.

The police also warned that they would consider arresting current offenders against security officials who block arrest during the second round.

It also left open the possibility of using stronger physical force, saying it is considering what it can do to reporters' questions about the possibility of deploying criminal task forces and commandos.

It became controversial when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit sent an official letter saying that the arrest warrant was entrusted to the police, but the conflict was all sealed?

[Reporter]
That's what it looks like on the outside.

Police said the execution of arrest warrants was agreed by the Airborne Department as originally planned, with police cooperating.

In addition, the Emergency Security Joint Investigation Headquarters, which is joined by the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, also emphasized that there is no shaking.

However, there are voices inside that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit may not have the will to execute arrest warrants.

In addition, if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit fails to investigate properly, there was also a statement from the police command that the police would transfer and investigate.

The agreement to maintain the cooperative system has not been broken, but the uncomfortable atmosphere between the two agencies remains.

So far, the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters has delivered it.
