South Korea’s opposition-controlled National Assembly on Thursday passed impeachment motions against the Chief State Auditor and three top prosecutors over their roles in investigations related to the relocation of the presidential office and first lady Kim Keon Hee.

The motions were against Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) Chairperson Choe Jae-hae; Lee Chang-soo, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office; and Cho Sang-won and Choi Jae-hun, both prosecutors under Lee.
