A former CIA analyst has been charged with acting as a "secret agent" for South Korea, according to an indictment unsealed on Tuesday.

Sue Mi Terry, 46, is accused of providing classified information to South Korean officials in exchange for luxury handbags, dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, and other benefits.

The indictment alleges that Terry began working for South Korea in 2012, while she was still employed by the CIA. She is accused of providing classified information to South Korean officials on a regular basis, including information about US foreign policy and military operations.

In exchange for her services, Terry is accused of receiving luxury handbags, dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, and other benefits from South Korean officials. The indictment alleges that she also received a salary from South Korea and was given a diplomatic passport.

Terry was arrested on Monday and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. She faces charges of conspiracy to commit espionage and transmitting national defense information to a foreign government.

If convicted, Terry could face up to life in prison.

The indictment alleges that Terry's activities were part of a larger effort by South Korea to obtain classified information from the United States. The indictment alleges that South Korean officials targeted Terry because of her access to classified information and her Korean-American heritage.

The indictment also alleges that Terry was motivated by greed and a desire to live a lavish lifestyle.

The charges against Terry are the latest in a series of espionage cases involving former US intelligence officials. In recent years, several former CIA and FBI agents have been charged with providing classified information to foreign governments.

The cases have raised concerns about the security of classified information and the potential for foreign governments to recruit and exploit US intelligence officials.
