South Korea's Defense Ministry says a civilian employee in its military intelligence command has been arrested for allegedly leaking military secretsFILE - A North Korean flag flutters in North Korea's village Gijungdong, as seen from a South Korea's observation post inside the demilitarized zone in Paju, South Korea, during a media tour, March 3, 2023.
South Korean media reported the employee gave a Chinese national thousands of confidential documents including those on the intelligence command’s list of agents operating in foreign countries with disguised names and jobs. The reports said the leaked documents have the real names and ages of those secret agents and where they are stationed. It was unclear why the employee allegedly handed over the information to the Chinese.
Yonhap news agency reported military investigators have detected signs that the leaked information was supposed to be passed over to North Korea. Yonhap said the Chinese national, of Korean descent, may have been an informant working for North Korea’s spy agency. In a closed-door briefing for lawmakers on Tuesday, the Korea Defense Intelligence Command said that it has brought back command officials dispatched abroad and imposed a ban on overseas business trips by other officials, according to one of the lawmakers, Lee Seong Kweun.
