Public Officials
A government ethics committee disclosed the assets of 362 senior public officials, with South Korea's ambassador to China, Ro Jae-hun, leading with 53 billion won in wealth. The release was delayed by about four months due to a fire at a state data center in September. The list covers officials whose positions changed between July and November last year.

The Supreme Court has ruled that wealth exceeding a public official's lawful income is presumed ill-gotten and can be forfeited, even if registered under others' names. This decision upholds the forfeiture of assets belonging to retired Lt. Gen. Jacinto Ligot and his family. The ruling reinforces anti-corruption measures under Republic Act 1379.
