South Korean FA condemns ‘personal attacks’ as rift rumours grow

The U.S. Justice Department has decided to drop its prosecution of former CIA analyst and White House National Security Council official Sue Mi Terry, who was indicted for allegedly acting as an unregistered agent for South Korea in exchange for gifts. The agreement reached with Terry in a deferred prosecution deal means that the criminal charges will be suspended, pending her compliance with certain conditions set forth in the deal.

These conditions include restrictions on her travel and interactions with the South Korean government. If Terry adheres to these terms for a period of 12 months, the case against her will be entirely dismissed. The terms of the agreement were outlined in a four-page deferred prosecution notice filed in a Manhattan U.S. District Court on Tuesday.

The notice provided no explanation for why the Justice Department was effectively abandoning its prominent intelligence case, stating that it had concluded the U.S. interests and Terry's interests would be best served by this resolution.
