The Special Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, which investigates the Itaewon disaster, summoned the former head of Situation Department 112 at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul, whose arrest warrant was previously revoked, to investigate.
Lee Im-jae, former chief of Yongsan Police Station, who also escaped arrest, announced that he would soon conduct a further investigation and re-apply for an arrest warrant as early as next week.
Through the consolidation of the charges, it seems that life and death are at stake to secure the new recruits next time.
This was reported by journalist Kim Tae-won.

The former head of the 112 Situation Department at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul was again summoned to the National Police Agency Special Investigation Headquarters.
It has been four days since he escaped arrest on the 5th with Lee Im-jae, former head of Yongsan Police Station.
On the day of the disaster, the head of the Situation Office is accused of having responded inappropriately, such as increasing density by having people being pushed off the road onto the pavement despite a series of 112 reports of concerns about being crushed.
The special edition is working hard to show that these measures increased the damage from the disaster.
Former chief Lee Im-jae will also be summoned for a new investigation soon, and we plan to add the allegation that he falsely wrote the time of arrival at the disaster site in the situation report.
Furthermore, as soon as the backup investigation on the two was concluded, we decided to resubmit a request for an arrest warrant.
If the arrest warrant is revoked again, the investigating power also risks life and death to establish the charges as much as he is mortally wounded.
The point of view of the special edition is that the negligence of individual institutions came together and led to disaster.
It may be difficult to prove that 158 people died through the fault of a former chief Lee Im-jae, but if the disaster occurred due to the combined negligence of the police, department office, fire department and transport companies , it would be easier to prove the allegations.
However, even after establishing this rationale from the start and continuing the investigation for about a month, it seems that it is not easy to make a breakthrough because she failed once to secure a new recruit.
Although most of the suspects say that they did not expect the disaster to happen or know the situation in time, it is necessary to prove that the responsibility for the disaster is heavy.
The special version plans first to secure new recruits for police officers and then to expand the scope of applications for arrest warrants to firefighters and local governments.
However, the investigation is expected to be difficult to speed up as the second arrest warrant application will only be filed for ex-boss Lee and others next week.
