Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A farmer has been arrested after about $10m (£6.1m) in cash was found hidden in a garlic field.
Police claim the money came from his relatives' illegal internet gambling site. It was uncovered in a field in Gimje, about 160 miles south of Seoul. The farmer, named only as Mr Lee, was arrested on Monday. Police said yesterday that his two brothers-in-law had asked him to stash the illegal bounty.
One of the brothers-in-law is now in prison, while the other is on the run. Officers did not say whether the discovered money would add to their charges.
