U.S. prosecutors agree to dismiss Sue Mi Terry case after 12 months
Federal prosecutors in New York have agreed to defer the case against former CIA analyst Sue Mi Terry over foreign-agent charges for 12 months and dismiss it if she complies with the conditions. Terry must avoid contact with South Korean intelligence personnel, obtain prior approval for meetings with government officials and comply with travel restrictions.
Federal prosecutors in New York have agreed to defer the case against former CIA analyst and foreign policy expert Sue Mi Terry for 12 months. If Terry complies with the specified conditions, the U.S. Attorney's Office will dismiss the case at the end of that period.
The court agreement made public on Tuesday requires Terry to maintain good conduct and fulfill her obligations. The agreement was reached several weeks before Terry was scheduled to stand trial in Manhattan federal court on charges of conspiracy and violating the substantive provisions of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Restrictions imposed on Terry
- Terry is prohibited from knowingly communicating with employees of South Korea's National Intelligence Service.
- She must obtain approval before planned meetings with South Korean government officials.
- She may not accept foreign gifts worth more than $100.
- Her travel outside the continental United States is restricted.
Charges brought in 2024
Terry was arrested after an indictment was filed in 2024. The indictment alleged that she had secretly supported South Korea's policy positions for more than a decade, passed nonpublic U.S. government information to South Korean officials and facilitated foreign officials' access to U.S. personnel.
Prosecutors alleged that South Korean intelligence officers provided Terry with luxury goods and expensive meals, as well as more than $37,000 in funding for a Korean affairs policy initiative she controlled.
Terry, who previously worked as an East Asia analyst at the CIA, served on the White House National Security Council from 2001 to 2011. Terry denied the charges against her throughout the legal proceedings.
