Opposition Party Wants Investigation into Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Deceased Seoul Mayor

It seems the ruling Democratic Party in Korea is just hoping that the sexual misconduct allegations against Mayor Park Won-soon will just go away with his death:

On the funeral day of late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon on Monday, the main opposition party launched what is likely to become an all-out campaign to press for a probe into allegations that the deceased sexually harassed his former secretary.

The pressure by the United Future Party (UFP) highlights deepening political division over the death of the late Seoul mayor.

Park was found dead at a mountain in Seoul after apparently taking his own life on Thursday. He was facing a criminal complaint on sexual harassment, filed by his former secretary.

With Park’s death, the police were to close the case against him in his absence, but opposition lawmakers are increasing calls to get to the bottom of the allegations raised against the three-term mayor who was a lawyer defending human rights and women’s rights. (……)

“I believe the DP, having been more proactive than anyone in the past ‘#MeToo’ wave, would doubtlessly join the efforts to find the truth,” he said, calling for a probe into the case.

Too bad Commie Moon controls everyone from judiciary to KNPs. Investigation is over before it even gained traction.

Like GI said, #metoo disappeared once they turned on an anointed one, Joe Biden. If they go after the mayor, you can bet DP will go full CYA and bury mode, probably drumming up coronavirus fears somewhere other than Seoul to turn the news cycle in a different direction. Once again commie moon pie will lead the ROK astray…
