AI 生成 纽约 — 美国司法部同意撤销对一名前中央情报局（CIA）分析师的刑事指控，该分析师被指控秘密为韩国政府工作并因此收受奢华礼物。
AI generated NEW YORK – The US Justice Department has agreed to drop criminal charges against a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst who was accused of covertly working for the South Korean government and receiving luxury gifts in return.
作为与纽约市联邦检察官达成的协议的一部分，苏米·特里 — — 她曾是外交关系委员会韩国问题高级研究员 — — 将不面临监禁。
As part of a deal with federal prosecutors in New York City, Sue Mi Terry, who was a senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, will not face jail time.
该协议相当于政府放弃了一起备受关注的涉及外国影响的案件，这一发展出乎意料。
The deal, which amounts to the government walking away from a high-profile case involving foreign influence, is an unexpected development.
此事发生在特里原定于曼哈顿美国地区法院出庭受审的几周前，她当时被指控以未登记的韩国外国代理人身份工作。
It comes just weeks before Terry was set to go on trial in the US District Court in Manhattan on charges of working as an unregistered foreign agent of South Korea.
她一直坚持自己的清白，而她的律师则表示，她因作为亚洲国际关系领域杰出学者的典型工作而被起诉。
She has maintained her innocence, while her lawyer said she was being prosecuted for doing the typical work of a prominent scholar of international relations in Asia.
在一份声明中，特里的律师李沃洛斯基表示，她“多年来忠诚地为国家服务”，并对结果感到满意。
In a statement, Lee Wolosky, a lawyer for Terry, said she had served her country “loyally for many years” and was pleased with the outcome.
“我们一贯主张，她与韩国官员的互动是为了促进美国利益，并且她作为北韩和东亚问题的领先美国专家所进行的工作也是如此，”沃洛斯基说。
“We have consistently maintained that her interactions with South Korean officials were conducted in furtherance of US interests and her work as a leading American specialist on North Korea and East Asia,” Wolosky said.
2023年10月13日，纽约南区联邦检察官提交了一份两页的文件，未对与特里达成延期起诉协议的原因作出解释，仅称此类协议“最能服务”美国和特里的利益。
In a two-page letter filed on Oct 13, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York did not provide an explanation for reaching a deferred prosecution agreement with Terry, other than that the interests of the US and Terry would be “best served” by such a deal.
检察官称，2024年特里被捕时，她曾收到韩国政府提供的奢侈品、米其林星级餐厅的晚餐及其他待遇，作为回报，她为韩国政府效力。
When Terry was arrested in 2024, prosecutors said she received luxury goods, dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants and other perks from the South Korean government in exchange for doing its bidding.
检察官称，她的工作范围包括撰写宣传韩国对朝鲜立场的评论文章，以及安排美国政府官员与韩国情报人员会面。
That work, prosecutors said, ranged from writing opinion articles that promoted South Korea’s stance on North Korea to arranging meetings between US government officials and South Korean intelligence agents.
通过达成协议，特里承认以多种方式协助韩国情报人员，其中包括向他们提供她与美国国务卿会面时所做的笔记。她还承认收受了昂贵礼物。特里亦被禁止在未来一年内与韩国情报官员接触。
By making the deal, Terry admitted to aiding South Korean intelligence officers in a number of ways, including by providing them with her notes from a meeting with the US secretary of state. She also admitted to receiving lavish gifts. Terry is also barred from speaking to South Korean intelligence officials for the next year.
针对特里的案件是司法部近年来打击美国政府境外影响力所发起的数十起案件之一。
The case against Terry was one of dozens the Justice Department has brought in recent years to combat foreign influence in the US government.
这些起诉行动包括遏制中国政府对海外异见人士的压制，以及前新泽西州参议员罗伯特·梅嫩德斯的受贿定罪。特里的起诉引发了一些组织的批评。
The prosecutions have included efforts to rein in the Chinese government’s suppression of overseas dissidents, as well as the bribery conviction of former New Jersey senator Robert Menendez. Terry’s prosecution drew criticism from some organisations.
2025年，美国公民自由联盟和骑士第一修正案研究所的律师在特里案中提交了一份法庭之友简报，称起诉书“威胁要因她就公共事务发表受宪法保护的言论而惩罚她”。
In 2025, lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Knight First Amendment Institute filed a brief in Terry’s case, arguing that the indictment “threatens to punish her for constitutionally protected speech on a matter of public concern”.
特里还曾在国家安全委员会和国家情报委员会工作，并被传唤在国会作证，谈及朝鲜问题。检方提供了特里工作的实例，称这些工作秘密地在推动韩国的政策优先事项，涉及外交、新闻和国家安全领域。
Terry had also worked at the National Security Council and the National Intelligence Council and was called to testify before Congress about North Korea. Prosecutors produced instances of Terry’s work that they said were secretly promoting South Korean policy priorities, spanning the world of diplomacy, journalism and national security.
她与《华盛顿邮报》专栏作家马克斯·布特结婚，两人曾共同撰写一篇2023年的文章，内容是关于韩日关系改善的。文章《韩国迈出迈向与日本和解的勇敢一步》是在韩国的要求下撰写的，检方称。布特未被指控有不当行为。
She is married to Max Boot, a Washington Post columnist, with whom she wrote a 2023 article about the improving relations between South Korea and Japan. The article, South Korea Takes A Brave Step Toward Reconciliation With Japan, was written at the behest of South Korea, prosecutors said. Boot was not accused of wrongdoing.
根据起诉书，特里于2013年首次开始担任外国代理人，这发生在她离开中央情报局五年后。
According to the indictment, Terry first started working as a foreign agent in 2013, five years after leaving the CIA.
检方称，她的工作始于被一名自称在纽约联合国担任外交官的韩国特工联系。
The work began when she was contacted by a South Korean agent who was posing as a diplomat at the UN in New York City, prosecutors said.
检方表示，特里曾与多名来自韩国的联络人合作，这些人赠送了包括一件价值2845美元（约合3700新元）的杜嘉班纳外套、一个价值3450美元的路易威登手袋，以及至少37000美元存入她所控制的智库礼品账户。
Prosecutors said Terry worked with multiple handlers from South Korea, who bestowed gifts that included a Dolce & Gabbana coat worth US$2,845 (S$3,700), a Louis Vuitton handbag worth US$3,450 and at least US$37,000 to a gift account at her think-tank, which she controlled.
到2014年，她已进入联邦调查局的视线，局方将她请去进行一次自愿访谈，当时她在特工询问她与韩国情报官员的关系时“明显紧张”。
By 2014, she was on the FBI’s radar, which brought her in for a voluntary interview where she was “visibly nervous” as agents questioned her about her connections with South Korean intelligence officers.
九年后，特里再次接受联邦调查局的访谈。她向特工承认，她是因中央情报局对她与韩国官员的接触“有问题”而辞职，而不是被解雇。《纽约时报》 本文最初刊登于《纽约时报》。
Nine years later, Terry was interviewed again by the FBI. She admitted to agents that she had resigned from the CIA instead of being fired because the agency had “problems” with her contacts with South Korean officials. NYTIMES This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
