Prosecution raids spy agency office over scandal
Prosecutors on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the
nation's main intelligence agency in connection with
suspicions that the organization attempted to influence
public opinion ahead of last year's presidential election.
A team of some 25 prosecutors and investigators seized
digital files, internal documents from an anti-North Korea
psychological warfare team at the National Intelligence
Service (NIS), they said.
Allegations have been raised that the NIS extensively and
systemically intervened in the presidential election by using
its agents at the team to post a slew of politically sensitive
comments on the Internet against the opposition candidate to
sway public opinion ahead of the December race. (Yonhap
