China tells UN ‘The Mole’ isn’t a credible source for sanctions investigations

Beijing rejects evidence from documentary due to 'illegitimate means' used in production

U.N. investigators should not use a Danish-made documentary about North Korea sanctions violations as a “credible source” for inquiry, China has reportedly told the U.N. Panel of Experts (PoE).

China articulated its position about “The Mole” in a letter responding to the Panel’s questions about some of the activities portrayed in the documentary — which includes several key scenes relating to weapons deals brokered in Beijing.

China told the PoE that “illegitimate means” used in the documentary’s production has “undermined” the “authenticity” and “credibility” of its contents, according to a draft of the forthcoming PoE report seen by NK News
