Parliament passes special counsel bill on fabricated indictments

The National Assembly, led by the ruling Democratic Party, passed a bill Friday calling for a special counsel probe into allegations of fabricated indictments targeting President Lee Jae Myung and others, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The bill, introduced by the DP, mandates an inquiry into alleged malicious prosecution under the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration, KBS World reports. It passed a parliamentary subcommittee on Nov. 4 and a standing committee the same day before reaching the plenary session on Nov. 5, where it was approved on Nov. 6. The main opposition People Power Party has called for President Lee's impeachment and the resumption of his criminal trials in protest, while the DP dismisses claims the bill is unconstitutional, KBS World reports.
