Ruling Party Advances Special Counsel Bill on Fabricated Indictments

A parliamentary subcommittee approved a bill to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations of fabricated indictments involving President Lee Jae Myung on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) endorsed the measure on November 3 and plans to push for full parliamentary passage this week. The bill targets claims that President Lee was indicted on multiple charges based on fabricated evidence. The subcommittee's approval follows similar moves by the opposition, including the Democratic Party (DP), to scrutinize past prosecutions under the Yoon Suk Yeol administration.
