SEOUL:
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials also asked the police to handle the arrest on their behalf following the failure. But police effectively rejected the request, saying there could be legal issues for them to execute a warrant obtained by the CIO.
"We will continue to consult with the CIO on executing the arrest warrant," Baek Dong-heum, a senior police officer, told reporters Monday.
The application for the extension suggests a move to carry out the arrest may not happen until later in the week.
