Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office introduced cases where reinvestigation requests, a minimal control mechanism for police's non-prosecution decisions, led to uncovering crimes. These include a sexual assault case involving minors and a hit-and-run incident.
President Lee Jae Myung visited the site of a 2024 plane crash in South Korea, urging a thorough reinvestigation due to a flawed initial probe that failed to recover all victims' remains. He emphasized the need for proper procedures and potentially outside expert involvement.
A petition calling for a renewed investigation into a sexual assault case has surpassed 80,000 signatures after the 19-year-old complainant died by suicide. The victim's family alleges police mishandled the case by relying on limited evidence.
