[Reporter]
The Ministry of Justice has banned the president of Yoon Suk Yeol from leaving the country.

This is the first time in history that a sitting president has been banned from leaving the country.

The departure ban is a system that temporarily restricts freedom of movement to prevent investigators who are feared to flee abroad,
If the
investigative agency applies, it will be approved by the Ministry of Justice's immigration authorities.

As a result, President Yoon is expected to be unable to leave the country due to foreign travel unless the ban on departure is lifted.It is reported that there were requests from various investigative agencies, including the

high-ranking public official's criminal investigation office,
An official from the Airborne Division
explained that they applied for a ban on leaving the country by applying both abuse of authority and rebellion charges written in President Yoon's complaint.

In the midst of this, the police also announced the fact that President Yoon was booked and vowed to launch a strict investigation.

[Woo Jong-soo / Director of National Investigation Division: (I would like to ask if it is possible to investigate the president who is the chief executive of the administration.) I would like to inform you that there are no human or material restrictions on the subject of this case. We will investigate strictly in accordance with the law and principles.]

While the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police are showing their strong will to investigate, the prosecution is also narrowing the investigation network toward President Yoon by conducting both a seizure and a massive summons.Amid competition among various investigative agencies over the

'emergency martial law case', the all-round investigation into President Yoon is expected to accelerate as the ban on departure has been approved.
