First came the international outrage, now come the legal repercussions.
The now-former vice president of Korean Air Cho Hyu-ah is facing possible criminal charges, while Korean Air is looking at fines of up to 1.3 million dollars and even a suspension of operations for 21 days.
That's according to the transport ministry on Tuesday, which said aviation safety regulations were CLEARLY violated when a Korea-bound flight returned to the gate to de-board the head of the cabin crew, ALL because a first-class passenger, Cho, was upset that her macadamia nuts were not served properly.

Cho, who resigned from all duties at Korean Air last week over the scandal, has been called in for questioning by prosecutors on Wednesday.
They plan to seek a warrant for her arrest on charges of violating aviation regulations.
Jail time has not been ruled out.
The headquarters of Korean Air have already been searched, and cabin crew members and passengers questioned on the matter.

Meanwhile, the transportation ministry will continue with its investigation.
They are launching a special team that will review Korean Air's safety management system and determine whether the company's culture influenced the pilot's decision that day.

Korean Air took out a written advertisement in major newspapers on Tuesday, saying the company was deeply sorry for the trouble it had caused.

E' in una cesta, la vedo , e piccola ,con due ali impresse sul petto. Rileggo le mie mani , vedo le pietre guardarmi , un viso stanco mi spinge verso di lei.
 
Gli indagati sono due: lei per aver fatto casino con l'aereo ed un dipendente che ha provato ad alterare le relazioni interne sull'incidente: http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2014/12/30/33/0302000000AEN20141230004100315F.html (per chi non lo sapesse, Yonhap è l'agenzia di stampa ufficiale sudcoreana).

Credo che la magistratura inquirente si sia alterata soprattutto per i tentativi di inquinare le prove. In Italia, se ricordo bene, basta dire che l'aereo è stato fatto rientrare a propria insaputa, e tutto si aggiusta :o
 
Questo articolo mi sembra più completo. Anche alcuni dirigenti del Ministero sono sotto accusa

Cho Hyun-ah, the former vice president of Korean Air, was taken into custody late Tuesday night on charges of violating aviation safety laws and abusing flight attendants in the incident that is now most commonly referred to as "nut rage."

(Korean)
(Do you have anything to say to the passengers or the cabin crew?)
"I'm sorry."

Earlier this month, Cho ordered a plane she was traveling on to return to the gate in New York after she was served macadamia nuts in a bag, not on a plate as is the service protocol for first class passengers.
Cho stands accused of forcing the chief steward of that flight off the plane and physically assaulting him.
Korean Air is also under fire over allegations that it tried to cover up the case.
On top of former VP Cho, a current executive of Korean Air was also detained on charges that he had destroyed evidence and forced subordinates to give false testimonies to investigators.

(Korean)
"Yes, I partially acknowledged."
(What did you acknowledge?)
"I acknowledged the mistakes I've made."

Korea's transport ministry is also in the hot seat for the way it has handled its side of the investigation.
Last week, a ministry official was arrested for leaking details of the probe into Korean Air.
The ministry has since vowed to punish eight of its officials for misconduct during the investigation.
Korean Air faces a possible 30-day flight ban, most likely on its New York to Seoul route, or fines of up to two million U.S. dollars.

Ciao Comandante!

Anche io avevo letto di tensioni tra il Ministero dei trasporti, dove ci sono ex-KE che possono essere più morbidi, e Procura, totalmente aldifuori degli schemi aeronautici. Comunque la questione è politica, un casino così per una scenata e dieci minuti di ritardo non si spiega altrimenti.

In Italia da ultimo avevamo avuto quelli che avevano fatto una telefonata per far atterrare un aereo (mi sembra un FR da SUF a BGY, se ricordo bene). Successo qualcosa? Mi ricordo un articolo con una storiaccia, poi più nulla.
 
Dopo il disastro del Ferry a inizio anno , credo sia cambiato qualcosa. Nel senso non ce ne piu per nessuno

Non oso pensare cosa avrebbe fatto la tipa se avesse trovato un coltello sporco,
Il te le fosse stato servito senza piattino, cucchiaino e tazza scheggiata!:D
 
Aggiornamento: inizia il processo

Oggi è cominciato il processo alla signora Cho, che è detenuta dal 30 dicembre. Rischia fino a 10 anni di prigione per violazione di regole relative alla sicurezza aerea, ed altri 5 anni per aver tentato di inquinare le prove. In più, il Ministero dei Trasporti deve ancora sanzionare KE o riducendone per un certo periodo di tempo i voli, o dando una multa fino a 2 milioni di dollari. Qui ulteriori informazioni: http://news.yahoo.com/nut-rage-trial-opens-korean-air-heiress-065355533.html

A me pare che qui ci siano altre motivazioni oltre al problema creato al volo stesso. Casi simili di gente qualsiasi non portano a queste reazioni. Da un lato, il Ministero dei Trasporti dopo l'affondamento del ferry ci mette una mano molto pesante su tutto quello che è di sua competenza; dall'altro, è un attacco alla cultura del chaebol che potrebbe anche far bene al paese. La signora si è già presa una bella paura, spero che la sentenza sia ragionevole.

Mi hanno anche detto che, come conseguenza di questa storia, c'è stato un giro di vite sull'attuazione delle varie procedure aviatorie. Chi sta in Corea può confermare o smentire cosa sta succedendo.
 
Si non ce ne piu per nessuno. E vero ! Finalmente

Per cronaca, la giornalista del GR di Radio deejay delle 10 raccontando l'antefatto ha ben scandito che mentre l'aereo era in fase di "rollaggio"...
 
Korean Air Chief Scolded Daughter Over Nut Rage

January 30, 2015

Korean Air Chairman Cho Yang-ho said he had scolded his daughter for expelling a crew member from a flight over the way she was served nuts in first class.
The nut rage incident, as it has become known, has stirred public outrage and ridicule in South Korea and raised questions about the power of the country's "chaebol" conglomerates.
Heather Cho Hyun-ah, the former head of Korean Air in-flight service before she resigned over the nut case, is on trial for breaking aviation laws and conspiring with other company executives to force crew members to lie about the December 5 incident.
"It was wrong to get a crew member off the flight no matter what the reason," Cho told the court in his fist appearance in the case.
"I have scolded her for not controlling her emotions and expelling the crew member," he said as his daughter appeared to wipe away tears.
Cho apologised to the crew chief who was forced off the flight and promised to ensure that he would not face reprimand from the company.
Heather Cho had demanded the crew chief removed from the flight at JFK airport in New York after a flight attendant served her macadamia nuts in a bag, not on a dish. The plane, already moving, returned to the gate.
Cho later resigned from her posts at the airline and subsidiaries in the face of public anger over her behaviour.
The flight crew member, Kim Do-hee, testified that Cho had became abusive as she confronted the crew about service, shouting at them as they kneeled on the floor.
Later, airline executives tried to pressure her and the crew chief to lie to government authorities about the incident and they pressed her to accept Cho's apology with an offer of a job as a professor at a school affiliated with the airline.
"I didn't want to accept her apology. I didn't go home for four days trying to avoid Cho," Kim said.
Cho's lawyers told the court at a previous hearing that she felt sorry for her action and she did not merit legal punishment.
Heather Cho is the oldest of Cho Yang-ho's three children. Her siblings are also executives with the airline. She has been in detention since December 30.
