Ruling party accepts proposed special counsel probe into Unification Church over bribery allegations

The decision came after the PPP and the minor New Reform Party agreed to push for a special investigation, as politicians from both the ruling and opposition parties have come under suspicion of receiving funds from the Unification Church ahead of the 2022 presidential election.
