The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office said it has been asked by an NIS internal reform task force to look into suspicions that two top ex-NIS officials are involved in the scheme, in violation of the agency’s laws stipulating political neutrality and prohibiting abuse of power.

首爾中央區地檢署指出，其已接到國情院一個內部改革專案小組請求調查涉及本案的兩位前該院最高官員，他們涉嫌違反該院必須保持政治中立與禁止濫權的法律。

The NIS task force has found that its former chief Won Sei-hoon and another ranking official created a watch list of some 82 actors, film directors, columnists and singers to persecute them for their critical stance toward the Lee administration.

該國情院專案小組發現，其前院長元世勳和另一名高階官員列出一份共約82位演員、電影導演、專欄作家及歌手的觀察名單，由於這些人士對李明博政府持批判立場而打壓他們。

The two former NIS officials allegedly had their subordinates exert pressure on government agencies to conduct tax probes on entertainment agencies that had contracts with those artists. They also peddled influence on public broadcasters to exclude them from the mainstream media.

這兩名前國情院官員涉嫌教唆部屬施壓政府機構對於與那些藝文人士簽約的娛樂機構進行查稅。這兩人也對公共廣播機構運用權勢，以便將這些人士排除在南韓主流媒體之外。
