Yoon's side said, "Request a prosecution or arrest warrant...If it's the Central District Court, I'll comply."

After the reissuance of the arrest warrant, the president's press conference

"If the Airborne Agency requests an arrest warrant or prosecutes it, I will follow it."

" Refusal to comply with the warrant issued by the Western District Court…It's through the Central District Court."

When the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant for the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol again, the president protested.

He said he could not comply with the warrant issued by the Western District Court, but he insisted that he would follow the arrest or arrest warrant issued by the Central District Court.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

Reporter Kim Chulhee!

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

Please tell me the details of the press conference on the part of the president.

[Reporter]
Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon, held a press conference for about an hour from around 1:40 p.m. today.

Here, the president said he would comply with the procedure if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit requests a preliminary arrest warrant or prosecutes it.

However, I attached a clue.

It is not possible to comply with the procedures in the Western District Court, which has no jurisdiction, and must be done through the Central District Court.

The president's position is firm that the arrest warrant issued by the Western District Court is unacceptable.

Earlier, the Western District Court issued two presidential arrest warrants and rejected related objections.

It seems that the Western District Court has decided that it will be disadvantageous if an arrest warrant is requested.

However, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit made it clear that he did not intend to comply with the president's request, saying that the policy of investigating according to laws and principles remains unchanged.

There was also a rumor that the president fled, but he also drew a line on this.

[Reporter]
Yes, the opposition party had earlier raised suspicions that President Yoon had already fled elsewhere to avoid the execution of an arrest warrant.

Lawyers defined the allegations as "false propaganda incitement," saying they came out after meeting the president at their official residence last evening.

He also insisted that martial law was justified.

President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law to announce the difficulties of state affairs, and claimed that only about 280 soldiers were deployed.

Prosecutors have determined that there were more than 2,500 military and police officers in and around the National Assembly, and that the president tried to paralyze the function of the National Assembly.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
