Main opposition fires back in NIS fund scandal
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party will demand a parliamentary probe into allegations that the spy agency and prosecution used funds improperly during past liberal governments, a party official said Wednesday.
Rep. Kim Seon-dong, the vice LKP floor leader, said that the conservative party will submit a written request this week to call for the probe.
The move is seen as a counteroffensive to the ongoing prosecutorial investigations into suspicions that the National Intelligence Service provided illicit money to the presidential office during the former Park Geun-hye government.
The LKP has criticized the probes as "unfair and politically driven" and demanded that the prosecution pay equal attention to alleged irregularities involving the former liberal Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun administrations of 1998-2008.
"We think that the parliamentary investigation (the LKP is pushing for) is only a basic thing," Kim told Yonhap News Agency over the phone.
The ongoing prosecutorial probes are part of the Moon Jae-in government's drive to "eliminate accumulated ills" from past governments and remove unfair and irregular practices in the country's society. But the opposition bloc has castigated them as "political retribution." (Yonhap)
