Parties clash over probe into Supreme Court chief

The ruling Democratic Party (DP) decided Tuesday to seek a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some hardliners calling for his impeachment over allegations, the Korea Times and Yonhap report. The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) denounced the move, with PPP floor leader criticizing it, according to KBS World. The DP had been considering the probe since last week, with an ongoing internal debate over impeachment, the Korea Times noted on Oct. 21. The decision follows the Supreme Court's finalization of a three-year prison term for a former Marine commander over a corporal's death in 2023, a separate case that has fueled political tensions.
