US court rules North Korea should pay $500 million to Otto Warmbier’s family
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA US federal judge rules that the North Korean government must pay $500 million in damages, in the case of Jewish student Otto Warmbier, who died after being held in Pyongyang’s custody for a year.
North Korea has not cooperated with the court case, and is not likely to comply with the Washington ruling and hand Warmbier’s family the money.
Warmbier was released back to the US earlier this year with severe brain damage, and died less than a week later.
