Acting President Choi vetoes special probe into political broker and first couple

Beyond the economy and onto the political front.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok has vetoed a bill calling for a special probe into an obscure political broker called Myung Tae-kyun.

The veto was largely expected and came on this Friday at a Cabinet meeting during which Choi pointed out that Myung was already under investigation by the prosecution.

Last month the main opposition Democratic Party unilaterally passed the bill seeking to investigate allegations of election fraud involving President Yoon Suk Yeol, First Lady Kim Keon Hee, and Myung.
