Kim Jong-un’s rich nephew Kim Han-sol goes missing ‘after meeting with CIA’

Adrian Hong, head of the group, said he had “never met a kid with so much money” and described him as carrying “wads of cash” and wearing “Gucci shoes”.

Pictures believed to show Kim’s nephew often have him in fancy outfits and earings, including clothes by Armani.

Mr Hong said that he believes Han-sol’s dad — the oldest son of North Korea’s previous ruler Kim Jong-il — had “stashed away a lot of cash during his life”.

The ruling elite in North Korea are known to have an extraordinary level of wealth, with the Kim family owning yachts, palaces and a fleet of luxury cars.
