SEOUL: Seoul´s chief of police has been charged with professional negligence over the deadly 2022 Halloween crush that killed nearly 160 people, prosecutors in the South Korean capital said. On October 29, 2022, tens of thousands of people — mostly in their 20s and 30s — had been out to enjoy post-pandemic holiday celebrations in Seoul´s Itaewon nightlife district. But the night turned deadly when people poured into a narrow, sloping alleyway between bars and clubs.
