SEOUL: South Korea on Saturday (Dec 3) arrested a former national security chief on suspicion of covering up events surrounding the 2020 murder of a fisheries official by Pyongyang. Presiden

President Yoon Suk-yeol is expanding an inquiry into the highly politicised case following accusations that his predecessor mishandled the probe to curry favour with North Korea.

The former top security official also faces allegations that he manipulated evidence to support the Moon government's controversial claim that the late fisheries official had sought to defect to the North. Yoon's People Power Party on Saturday accused Suh of"failing to protect" and"neglecting" the late fisheries official while security chief.

Moon's government at the time said an initial probe by the coast guard suggested Lee had tried to defect to the North, citing family problems and debts from gambling.
