  • According to defector sources, North Korean Authorities have begun a purge of corrupt senior officials on the orders of the heir apparent, Kim Jung-un. The crimes under investigation include smuggling and allowing people to flee the country. This is one of the ways a new team makes room for its own people. In the first years of his tenure, Kim Jong-il supported constant purges of party and military officials who were opposed to reigning family succession in an otherwise communist state, and survived several assassination attempts and mutinies.
