North Korea military official dumped from ruling party over graft

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un condemned the alleged corruption of a high-ranking military official, Pak Hui Chol, who was removed from the ruling Workers' Party of Korea for accepting bribes and leading a 'dissipated life.' State media reported that Kim called the actions a 'political crime' against the Party's disciplinary policies and a deliberate act of embezzlement harming national interests. Pak, former vice-director of the General Political Bureau of the People's Army, was dismissed from central leadership and handed over to law enforcement. This rare public rebuke of a senior official highlights the regime's efforts to maintain discipline within its tightly controlled hierarchy.
