Top officials of Moon Jae-in govt arrested over fabrication

Published

on

Top officials of the previous Moon Jae-in administration have been arrested over the weekend on document fabrication and other charges.

This comes as part of an expanding investigation into the death of a South Korean fisheries official by North Korea.

It is alleged that the Moon administration concluded without sufficient evidence that the fisheries official, Lee Dae-jun, was killed while attempting to defect to North Korea.

Critics say that this was part of efforts to curry favor with Pyongyang. With these recent arrests, it appears that those accusations may hold some weight.

Shock arrests

Former Defense Minister Suh Wook and former Coast Guard Commissioner General Kim Hong-hee were arrested over the past weekend on document fabrication and other charges. Other top officials could face charges in the expanding investigation.

“Special intelligence at the time showed Lee expressing his intention to defect to the North … How can including this intelligence in our judgment be a manipulation?” they said.

“We cannot imagine making groundless manipulations over a citizen’s life and honor,” Suh said.

The officials also denied allegations the then government did not do enough to save Lee, saying it was impossible to rescue Lee as he was in North Korean waters.

Why OPEC policy decisions will have a major impact on oil prices

Published

on

Despite the fall in oil prices, OPEC and its allies policy decisions can have a major impact on oil prices.

 
In May 2023, the total number of rigs drilling for oil and gas was already down by around 7% when compared with its peak in December 2022.

Slower drilling activity eventually translates into slower production growth, creating a delay of up to 6 months.

In the meantime, high levels of production are keeping inventories elevated, especially in the case of gas, which is keeping prices under pressure.

OPEC and its allies are weighing the possibility of further oil supply cuts, despite the fall in oil prices.

OPEC+ and its allies led by Russia, pumps around 40% of the world’s crude.

So, its policy decisions can have a major impact on oil prices.

Bloomberg’s Senior Oil and Gas Analyst Fernando Valle joins us to discuss.
