Cabinet approves special probe act on Choi Soon-sil scandal

정부, 국무회의서 특검법 공포안 의결.. 박 대통령, 재가할 듯 Five days after Korea's National Assembly approved the bill, the Cabinet has passed an independent counsel bill to launch a special investigation into the influence-peddling and corruption scandal surrounding President Park Geun-hye and her confidante, Choi Soon-sil. Song Ji-sun reports. Only the president's signature is needed... to enact the independent counsel bill for a special probe into the president herself and the power-abuse scandal linked to her longtime confidant, Choi Soon-sil. The presidential office said she will sign off on the bill as earlier promised. When the bill goes into effect, immediately after her approval, the opposition parties will submit two candidates for the counsel and President Park will choose one of them. That person will lead a team of more than one-hundred personnel - with four assistants, 20 prosecutors and 40 investigators. The probe can last up to four months - with 20 days of preparation and 70 days of investigation. This can be extended by an extra 30 days upon the president's approval. The top office had earlier dismissed the prosecution's interim investigation results as "false accusations based on imagination and speculation," and it's preparing for the special investigation. While President Park has been gearing up to resume state affairs as much as possible, she opted against chairing Tuesday's Cabinet meeting... amid rising public call for her resignation.
