Bill passed to appoint independent counsel over Marine's death

Yun Jae-ok, floor leader of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), along with other PPP lawmakers, denounces the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) in front of the National Assembly in Seoul on May 2, 2024, as the DP, which has 175 seats at the 300-member unicameral parliament, unilaterally passed a bill to appoint a special investigator at a parliamentary plenary session earlier in the day. The bill is aimed at looking into allegations of interference by ranking military officials in the probe into the death of Marine Cpl. Chae Su-geun, who was swept away by a torrent in a stream during a search operation for civilians missing amid heavy rains in July 2023. (Yonhap)
