Otto Warmbier was detained in North Korea in 2016 for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from his hotel.

The 22-year-old Warmbier, who was detained in North Korea for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from his hotel, died days after being sent back to the United States in a coma in 2017.

Impoverished North Korea, struggling under biting international sanctions over its nuclear weapons programme, is believed to have few assets in the United States and has ignored the 2018 ruling. "Judgement is hereby entered in favor of the Plantiffs/Judgement Creditors Cynthia Warmbier and Fredrerick Warmbier with respect to the Subject Funds in the sum of $240,336.41, plus any accrued interest thereon," said the order, seen by AFP.

He was pulled away from his group at Pyongyang airport and charged with crimes against the state for allegedly taking down a propaganda poster.
