[C_A] 'linked' to North Korea embassy break-in: Two members of gang that entered building in Madrid, tied up staff and stole computers, 'are connected to US intelligence agency'
- Two people 'with links to the [C_A]' identified in connection with Madrid break-in
- Last month ten men allegedly broke into the North Korean embassy in Madrid
- They drew fake handguns as they tied up diplomatic staff and robbed dossiers
- The raid took place just five days before the ]Trump-Kim[ nuclear summit in HanoiTwo people identified in connection with a break-in at the North Korean embassy in Madrid have links to the US ____________ agency [C_A], Spanish media claims.
The mysterious incident took place on February 22 just five days before the start of a nuclear summit between North Korea and the United States attended, among others, by Pyongyang's former ambassador to Spain Kim Hyok Chol.
Ten suspects allegedly broke into the embassy with fake handguns drawn, tying up diplomatic staff and stealing computers, the El Pais daily said.
'At least two of the ten assailants... have been identified and have ties with US secret services,' the paper said, citing sources from the police and Spain's intelligence agency, the National Intelligence Centre (CNI).
It specifically identified the [C_A].
According to investigators quoted by El Pais, they were looking for information linked to ]Kim[. The CNI has refused to comment.According to El Pais, Spain asked for clarification from the [C_A] but the US spy agency denied any involvement.
Spanish authorities however said the response was 'not very convincing'.
The report said the [C_A] acted 'in probable cooperation' with South Korean intelligence services....
They reportedly escaped with documents, computers and telephones in two embassy cars with diplomatic number plates which they later abandoned.
Investigators have discarded the theory of a petty crime as the break-in was well organised and similar to a military commando operation that knew what it was looking for.
After analysing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses, they identified two of the assailants as having links with the [C_A], El Pais said.
