Panel recommends indictment of Seoul police chief over crowd crush

Prosecutor General Lee One-seok arrives at the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office in Seoul on Jan. 16, 2024, one day after a prosecutorial committee of outside experts recommended that Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency chief Kim Kwang-ho be indicted over the Oct. 29, 2022, crowd crush. Kim had been probed on charges of professional negligence in connection with the incident, in which a surge during Halloween celebrations killed 159 people in the capital's Itaewon district.
