S. Korea’s ex-spy chiefs convicted of wiretapping SEOUL -- An appeal court Thursday handed down suspended prison sentences on two former South Korean spy chiefs convicted of illegal wiretapping. The Seoul High Court upheld a lower court decision last year to sentence Lim Dong-won and Shin Kun to three years in prison for overseeing the wiretapping of politicians and businessmen by intelligence officials. But it suspended their sentences, saying the two had just followed “old practices” while heading the National Intelligence Service under then-president Kim Dae-jung. |
