Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Quick Glance: South Koreans Seek Closure 10 Years After Sewol Tragedy

South Korea commemorated the 304 individuals who perished in the Sewol ferry disaster a decade ago, urging for accountability and apologies from those responsible.

On the fateful morning of April 16, 2014, the Sewol sank with 476 passengers, leading to the tragic loss of 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan.

Rescuers' delayed response and inefficiency, along with revelations of illegal ship modifications, overload, and crew negligence, fueled public outrage and disbelief.

President Yoon Suk Yeol expressed condolences and emphasized the importance of accepting responsibility, issuing apologies, and preventing similar disasters in the future.

Shohei Ohtani Defied Ex-Interpreter’s Request to Cover Up Fraud, Report

japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/baseball/20240415-180592/

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
