Jan. 3 (UPI) — North Korea’s acting ambassador to Italy has “gone into hiding” for nearly two months and may have defected to a third country, according to multiple South Korean press reports.
Television network KBS and others reported Thursday Jo Song Gil and his wife have been out of the public eye since early November and the South Korean government is paying close attention to the latest developments.
In a report to a South Korean parliamentary committee, Seoul’s spy agency said Jo was due to return to North Korea after serving his term at the end of November.
