breaking CRI News Radio Seoul 7d6d Impact 10

A judge who found the wife of former South Korean President Lee Myung-bak guilty in a stock manipulation case was found dead at the Seoul High Court. He was a judge at the Seoul Central District Court. The broadcast mentioned that Legislative Committee member Chen Jiapei's improper conduct was unanimously deemed by the committee after an incident in Wanzai Yichuan. Preliminary investigations suggest foul play is unlikely, and a suicide note was discovered at the scene. Police are investigating the possibility of a fall from a height.
