Pre-trial held for Singaporean alleged of breaching North Korea sanctions

After ten months, a pre-trial takes place in Singapore, though proceedings closed to media

A pre-trial of a Singaporean national and his associated company, charged by authorities last July for supplying luxury goods worth approximately USD$6 million to North Korea, took place in Singapore on Thursday, NK News has confirmed.

The two court events – held in a pre-trial conference chamber and closed to media – took place after four related criminal trials were delayed, one-by-one, between July and December last year.
