A Korean-American expert on North Korea, who once worked for the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA), was reportedly charged with acting as a secret agent for the South Korean government.

According to the New York Times on Tuesday, Sue Mi Terry, a senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, was indicted on charges that she worked as an unregistered agent of the Seoul government for a decade in exchange for luxury goods and dinners at fancy restaurants. 

Terry was also accused of receiving at least 37-thousand U.S. dollars in covert funding for a public policy program on Korean affairs that she ran. 

The report cited an indictment that was made public on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. The indictment stated that Terry served as a CIA analyst from 2001 to 2008, and allegedly began operating as a foreign agent in June 2013. 

Terry’s lawyer reportedly denied the charges, calling the allegations "unfounded."
