Trial over alleged cover-up of fisheries official's death

Park Jie-won (2nd from L), former head of the National Intelligence Service, is approached by Lee Rae-jin (3rd from L), the elder brother of a South Korean official shot to death by North Korean soldiers while drifting in waters in the West Sea in September 2020, in protest at the Seoul Central District Court on March 24, 2023, as Park appears to attend the first hearing of a trial over his alleged involvement in the then Moon Jae-in government's conclusion without sufficient evidence that the South Korean fisheries official was killed while attempting to defect to North Korea.
