KAL nut case executive faces detention
Print Edition
SOUTH Korean prosecutors yesterday requested a detention warrant for a former Korean Air Lines executive who delayed a flight because she was unhappy with how she was served nuts in first class.
The prosecutors have been investigating the former executive, Heather Cho, who is the daughter of the airline’s chairman, on charges of violating aviation law and another airline official for abetting perjury.
“The prosecution this morning requested a detention warrant,” an official at the prosecutors’ office said.
Detention warrants are issued when the court believes there is a risk of flight or evidence tampering by suspects while investigations are ongoing.
A probe by the Transport Ministry concluded that Cho abused flight attendants in the December 5 incident at John F Kennedy airport in New York, and airlines officials may have tried to cover up the incident.
