President Yoon Suk-yeol is expanding an inquiry into the case following accusations that his predecessor mishandled the probe to curry favour with North Korea. theSun theSundaily SouthKorea murder crime officials probe Coverup WorldNews

This file photo taken on March 13, 2018 shows then South Korea's National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon waiting for the arrival of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prior to their meeting in Tokyo. South Korea on December 3, 2022 arrested Suh Hoon, a former national security chief, on suspicion of covering up events surrounding the 2020 murder of a fisheries official by Pyongyang.

He is accused of ordering that intelligence reports be destroyed to conceal the killing of fisheries official Lee Dae-jun, who died near the sea border separating North and South Korea. In October ex-defence minister Suh Wook and former coast guard chief Kim Hong-hee were also arrested over the same case.

But the country’s opposition has long claimed the investigation is “political revenge” against Moon’s administration. But Lee’s brother has repeatedly slammed that idea, saying Lee would never have chosen a life in North Korea.
