Moon Jae-in criticized Philippine President Duterte over a murder case.
Former DP Chief Moon Jae-in has criticized the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte over a murder case of a Korean businessman in the country.
In a recent new report of The Korean Times, Moon Ja-in called the inaction as a “diplomatic disrespect.”
Moon Jae-in hits Philippine President Duterte for supporting his PNP Chief Ronald Dela Rosa despite the incident.
According to the leading presidential hopeful from the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), President Duterte was not taking some responsible actions against the murder case.
“An innocent Korean was killed in the Philippines again. It’s quite a shock that this time incumbent police officers were involved and the murder was committed within the police headquarters,” Moon said on Facebook, Tuesday.
“What’s more shocking is that President Duterte did not hold the police chief, who faces growing calls to resign from the Philippine people, responsible but rather participated in his birthday party,” Moon Jae-in added.
The tension arises when the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa announced to the public that the South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo was killed inside Camp Crame.
PNP Chief “Bato” admitted that he is ashamed that the killing was done at the national police headquarters.
The Philippine government issued an apology over the case, and Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella offered condolences to Jee’s family.
Furthermore, the Korean National Police Agency Commissioner General Lee Chul-sung was reportedly sent a letter to Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa.
In his letter, Lee Chul-sung requested Dela Rosa to have a swift and fair investigation into the murder case of South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo.
He also includes in his letter to have a stern punishment of the people involved and continued efforts to prevent crimes targeting Koreans there.
