South Korea broadens espionage law
The expanded espionage law in South Korea has come into effect, for the first time covering all activities related to espionage on behalf of any foreign country. Its aim is to strengthen the protection of strategic industries such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, amid rising international competition for advanced technologies. The new law stipulates minimum prison sentences of three years for violators and seeks to close previous loopholes that led to lighter penalties for cases involving the leakage of technological and industrial secrets by foreign entities or foreign parties. The National Intelligence Service welcomed the amendment, considering it to enhance the country's ability to prevent the leakage of sensitive technologies and viewing it as an effort to tighten deterrence against industrial and technological espionage.
