Top North Korean officials 'punished for taking bribes'
Two of Kim Jong Un's most senior officials have been punished for
allegedly taking bribes, with one sent to a prison camp, according to South
Korea media.
Speculation has been high over the fate of Hwang Pyong So, director of North
Korea's Politburo, and his deputy, Kim Won Hong, since they suddenly
disappeared from state media months ago.
Pyong So has been expelled from the Workers' Party, but his fate beyond
that is unclear; and Won Hong is in prison, reports South Korea's
Joongang Daily, citing a source.
South Korea's spy agency told a parliamentary briefing last month the
pair appeared to have been punished for "impure attitudes" towards
leader Kim Jong Un.
Any sign of disobedience or non-compliance by North Korean officials or its
citizens is usually treated very harshly as a warning to others, leading to
speculation the pair may ultimately be killed or left to languish in one of
the country's notorious prison camps.

Kim Jong Un's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, was executed in 2013 after being
removed from all his posts over allegations of corruption, drug use,
gambling, womanising and leading a "dissolute and depraved life".
State media branded him "worse than a dog", a "counter-
revolutionary" and "despicable human scum".
Up until his dramatic downfall, he was considered second only to the North
Korean leader.
Kim Jong Nam, the ruler's exiled half-brother, died in Malaysia in an
infamous chemical attack earlier this year.
The fate of the two alleged bribe-takers comes as North Korea continues to
pursue its missile programme and threaten destruction on America if provoked.
After the last missile launch, Kim Jong Un was pictured walking among the
snow on a sacred North Korean mountain contemplating the "great historic
" event.
