A former South Korean spy chief was sent to prison Feb. 9 after being found guilty of ordering an illicit online campaign to support then-ruling party candidate and current President Park Geun-hye ahead of the 2012 presidential election, court officials said.

The Seoul High Court sentenced Won Sei-hoon to three years in prison for violating an election law and another law banning the National Intelligence Service from engaging in local politics, said court spokesman Chae Dong-soo. The NIS did not have an immediate comment. (AP)
