SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — South Korean police on Monday summoned the wife of Korean Air Chairman Cho Yang-ho to question her about allegations she abused and assaulted employees. The Cho family has been under mounting public criticism after company employees alleged they were subjected to mistreatment and tantrums. Last week, Cho Hyun-ah was investigated by South Korean immigration officials over allegations that she unlawfully hired housekeepers from the Philippines. Cho Hyun-ah’s younger sister, Cho Hyun-min, is under investigation for allegedly hurling a cup of water during a business meeting. South Korean authorities are also looking into suspicions that the Cho family, including Cho Yang-ho, evaded taxes and used airline services to smuggle luxury goods.
