청와대, '세월호 전면 재수사' 청원에 "새로운 사실 밝히는 데에 노력"
The presidential office says it will continue efforts to reveal the truth behind the 2014 sinking of the Sewol-ho ferry, which claimed hundreds of young lives.
But, responding to a petition on the presidential office's website calling for a fresh probe into the disaster,... presidential secretary for anti-corruption Park Hyoung-chul said it's still too early to discuss whether to create an independent investigation group in the prosecution.
He said that a special investigation committee is actively working on the case, adding its tenure will end next year.
The top office said it will look into the then Park Geun-hye administration's handling of the disaster, which came under fire for apparently failing to take swift and appropriate measures to rescue passengers.
