Kim Jong-un has nearly spent the entire ‘slush fund’ he inherited from his father on nuclear weapon tests, it has been claimed.
The dictator no longer has enough to run the country and the secretive nation’s participation in the Winter Olympic Games is part of a bid to boost its economy, sources claim.
Kim has staged a series of costly nuke trials since taking over as leader after the death of his father Kim Jong-il in 2011.
But Chinese sources with links to Pyongyang’s ruling elite say the funds the 34-year-old inherited are nearly exhausted, reports Radio Free Asia.
One of the two sources said: ‘Due to Kim Jong Un’s extravagant spending, the slush fund from his father, Kim Jong Il, is running out.
He added: ‘We can speculate that he spent a lot of money from the number of missile [and nuclear weapons] tests he carried out.
‘Most of the funding for nuclear weapon and missile development is coming from Kim Jong Un’s slush fund.’
The source said Kim Jong-un has also lavished cash on showpiece works including the Ryomyong Street development in Pyongyang and the Masikryong Ski Resort.
