Re-execution of the Airborne Service's warrant 'imminent'...Submission of Appointment of Defense Counsel Yoon

[Anchor]
The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is struggling at the last minute ahead of the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

As the pressure on the bodyguard has increased, it is highly likely that the re-execution will take place as early as this week,
President
submitted his appointment to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit today.

I'm connecting with the reporter, reporter Kim Cheol-hee!

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

The timing of the 2nd warrant execution by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, have some strands been caught?

[Reporter]
Yes, our reporters are guarding the airborne office from dawn to afternoon today, but no special movements have been detected yet.

Regardless of the re-execution of the warrant, most of the investigation teams are preparing for the presidential investigation by going to work today, which is a holiday.

In addition, we are also continuing to review the law on various situations that may occur.

In the midst of this, the president visited the civil service office of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at around 2 p.m. today and submitted his appointment.

An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said four lawyers, including lawyer Yoon Gap-geun, were named to the senior ranks, and they also had a short interview with the investigation team.

There was no discussion about attendance, and it was explained that it was not a particularly notable issue.

It is interpreted as meaning that the second execution attempt will be carried out as planned regardless of the lawyer's appointment.

Then, when will the arrest warrant be re-executed?

[Reporter]
The validity period of this arrest warrant is known to be about two weeks.

The biggest consideration of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in setting the timing seems to be the Presidential Security Service.

At the time of the first execution, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that the resistance of the security service was stronger than expected and that it withdrew due to safety concerns.

While re-executing the president's arrest warrant, it is mentioned that the leadership, including Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, will arrest him to neutralize the resistance of the security service.

In addition, as the president's side is focusing on gathering supporters every day, it is also expected that he may re-execute as early as this week.

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