Integral closedness of ideals with nearly Gorenstein extended Rees algebras

Let (A,m)(A,\mathfrak m) be a two-dimensional regular local ring with infinite residue field, and let II be a non-parameter m\mathfrak m-primary ideal of AA. The extended Rees algebra R(I)\mathcal{R}'(I) is nearly Gorenstein when its canonical ideal contains the sum of the socles of all canonical modules; in the stated setting, this condition implies that II is integrally closed.

Integral-closedness conjecture. If R(I)\mathcal{R}'(I) is nearly Gorenstein, then II is integrally closed.

This claim concerns the relationship between the singularity property of an extended Rees algebra and the integral closure of the ideal defining it. The supplied source does not establish whether the assertion is proved or remains open.
