Local media reported Tuesday that Benoit Quennedey, a senior official in the French Senate, was arrested late Sunday over the "collection and delivery of information to a foreign power likely to undermine the fundamental interests of the nation."
The country's domestic security agency is questioning him to find out whether he provided confidential information to Pyongyang.
Investigators reportedly searched his home in Paris and his parents' house near Dijon.
Quennedey is a senior administrator in the upper house of parliament in the department of architecture, heritage and gardens. He is also president of the Franco-Korean Friendship Association.
