South Korea says it has yet to receive any notice from Spain regarding a break-in at the North Korean Embassy in Madrid. 

An official of the Foreign Ministry in Seoul on Thursday relayed the government’s stance on last month’s raid on the North's diplomatic mission by a group of intruders that allegedly included a South Korean national. 

The official indicated Seoul could help to investigate the South Korean suspect if there is a request, citing the country’s obligations based on mutual judicial assistance and extradition treaties.  

The official denied any knowledge of the identity of the South Korean in question.
 
A total of ten people are believed to have hit the North Korean embassy in Madrid on February 22nd, making off with computers, USB drives and mobile phones. 

A Spanish court revealed on Tuesday that South Korean, U.S. and Mexican citizens were involved in the attack.
