A federal judge has ruled that the parents of a U.S. student Otto Warmbier, who died after being imprisoned by North Korea, should receive about $240,000
North Korea has denied that it tortured or cruelly treated the University of Virginia student and has called itself the “biggest victim” in his death while accusing Washington and Seoul of orchestrating a smear campaign.
The partial payment was ordered by a federal judge in New York, who has directed the state comptroller to give the Warmbiers the money that was seized from North Korea on the grounds it could be used for terrorism, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Wednesday.Neither North Korea nor the North Korean bank from which the funds were seized responded to the legal action brought by the Warmbiers last March.
