The Democratic Party of Korea held a general meeting of lawmakers today (October 27) and decided to conduct a parliamentary investigation to uncover the truth behind various allegations raised against Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae.

The Democratic Party plans to process the request for the parliamentary probe at the plenary session on November 5 and adopt the formal investigation plan one to two weeks later.

The party also asked its lawmakers today to remain on emergency standby in case an arrest warrant for Kim Keon-hee is not issued.
