News Seoul prosecutors raid spy agency over forced repatriation of North KoreansRaid into 2019 repatriation and DPRK’s 2020 killing of ROK official target spy agency's role in cases, prosecutors say
Prosecutors raided South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) on Wednesday as part of investigations into the forced repatriation of two North Koreans and the DPRK’s killing of a ROK civil servant under the Moon administration. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ press office told NK News it seeks to uncover the role of the country’s main intelligence agency in the cases, raiding the main NIS office in south-central Seoul. The move comes a day after newly released photos showed at least one of the two North Korean fishermen physically resisted his handover to North Korean authorities across the inter-Korean border.
