전 CIA 출신 북한 전문가 수미 테리, '한국정부 대리' 혐의 기소
U.S. federal prosecutors have charged a former CIA analyst Sue Mi Terry, a pro-Korea scholar who's also an expert on North Korea, of working for the South Korean government in exchange for gifts.
It's seen as an unexpected event by pundits.
Kim Jung-sil explains.
Federal prosecutors in New York have charged Sue Mi Terry for failing to register under the U.S. federal Foreign Agents Registration Act, and for conspiring to violate it.
The U.S. government requires individuals acting as agents for foreign principals to register and publicly disclose their relationships and activities, so that it can evaluate them.
The New York prosecutors say Ms. Terry did not register "despite engaging in extensive activities for and at the direction of" the South Korean government.
According to the indictment released on Tuesday, she began operating as a foreign agent in June 2013 when she was first contacted by an intelligence officer posing as a diplomat for the South Korean mission to the UN.
It said she accepted designer handbags and expensive meals in exchange for information and lobbying over the next 10 years.
The indictment said she also received at least $37,000 in covert payments.
Ms. Terry's lawyer released a statement saying that the allegations were unfounded, and distorted "the work of a scholar and news analyst known for her independence and years of service to the United States."
Born in 1972, Ms. Terry moved to the U.S. when she was 12 years old.
After getting her Ph.D. in international relations, she worked at the CIA as well as the U.S. National Security Council.
Pundits say the indictment comes as a surprise as for the past decade, she was just working as a scholar in the academic field.
Analysts also say the indictment could potentially shrivel the development and research of pro-Korea scholars in the U.S., who are significantly lacking in influence and impact compared to pro-Japan scholars.
The South Korean National Intelligence Service released a brief comment on Wednesday saying it's "closely communicating with the U.S. intelligence agencies" referring to the indictment.
