The parents of Otto Warmbier a U.S. student who died after being taken hostage by North Korea and released by the country in a coma in 2017, should receive $240,300 seized from a North Korean bank account, a federal judge ruled last week.
The amount would be a partial payment toward the more than $501 million Fred and Cindy Warmbier of Wyoming Ohio were awarded in 2018 by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.
