Otto Warmbier's parents file claim for North Korean cargo ship

The parents of Otto Warmbier filed a claim for a North Korean cargo ship seized by the U.S. in May, arguing that the ship could serve as part of their $500 million judgement against the country, CNN reports.
A federal judge awarded the family more than half a billion dollars in a wrongful death suit against the North Korean government, according to CNN.
North Korea never took part in the lawsuit or settlement discussions, with Warmbier’s family “left to chase down the assets of North Korea to recover what they can for the torture and death of their son at the hand of North Korea’s dictator," the outlet notes, citing court documents.
