[국제]French Senate arrested for "Northern Spy"

Local media reported that Senate legislator Benoît Kennedy was arrested Monday night by French national security agents at his home in Paris.

Security agency agents searched his Paris home and the Senate office, as well as his parents' home in the mediocre French city of Dijon.

The authorities would have found the allegations of Kennedy in March and would have managed on their own.

A graduate of the Political University of Paris and the National Government School, Kennedy served as a legislative bureaucrat in architecture, cultural heritage and other areas of the Senate.

Kennedy is the president of the France-Korea Friendship Association, which advocates close exchanges between France and North Korea. He has traveled frequently to North Korea since 2005.

The Franco-Korean Friendship Association is an organization created by French journalists of the radical left of the 1960s.

In the local Korean community in Paris, this badociation was known as the Buddhist Friendship Association.

Kennedy published a book titled "North Korea, Unknown" last year and the Russian government often appeared in the hidden media "RT France" and commented on the situation of North Korea.

The President of the French Senate, Gerard Rachel, declined to comment on this.
