Ex-spy chief grilled again over political intervention
SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- The former chief of the nation's main intelligence agency was questioned by prosecutors again over suspicions that he directed spy agents to influence public opinion ahead of last year's presidential election, according to officials Tuesday.
Won Sei-hoon, who headed the National Intelligence Service (NIS) for about four years until early this year, is under suspicion of intervening in domestic politics by ordering agents to post a slew of politically sensitive comments on the Internet in order to sway public opinion in favor of the ruling party candidate prior to the Dec. 19 election.
