China expelled a South Korean Army major on charges of espionage this year after more than a year of post-trial detention there for collecting information on North Korea, military sources said Tuesday.
They say Chinese police arrested the South Korean officer in July 2009 in Shenyang, a northeastern Chinese city, and the court sentenced him to a three-year jail term on charges of spying on North Korea's nuclear programs and missiles.
The Ministry of National Defense did not confirm nor deny the expulsion of the major, noting that such a matter is classified and highly sensitive.
Sources say he was repatriated to South Korea in late September.
North Korea had ratcheted up provocations by test-firing a long-range missile and conducting a second nuclear test at the time of his arrest.
They claim that the government had requested Beijing to swiftly free the major, citing a diplomatic protocol between the two nations, but China refused to do so. .
They say the Chinese court built a spy case against him because he was allegedly attempting to meet a Chinese military official to obtain intelligence on North Korea.
