SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A prosecutor says Cho Hyun-ah, the former Korean Air Lines executive who ordered a crew member off a flight in an incident now known as “nut rage,” was charged with interfering with a government investigation and violating aviation security law.
Kim Chang-hee, a senior prosecutor at Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office, said Wednesday that Korean Air executives and employees interfered with the transport ministry’s probe by destroying documents and fabricating evidence.
Cho, who is the daughter of the airline’s chairman, kicked a crewmember off a Dec. 5 flight over the way she was served macadamia nuts. Her over-mighty behavior infuriated the public.
Kim said a current airline executive was charged with destroying evidence and interfering with the probe. A transport ministry official was indicted for leaking secrets about the investigation.

put all of those who interfered with the probe in prison and force them out of the industry as well. KAL and the govt agency as well must learn a strong lesson and prison terms will be the lesson to use.
