[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] The prosecution has summarily indicted former Korean Air Vice President Cho Hyun-ah (46) on charges of assault.


According to the legal community on the 25th, the Women and Children Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Yoo Hyun-jung) summarily indicted former Vice President Cho on the 11th on assault charges with a fine of 3 million won.


Cho’s husband Park Mo (46), who is currently in divorce and custody litigation with her, filed a police complaint against former Vice President Cho in February last year, alleging that she shouted and strangled him out of anger and threw a tablet PC, causing an injury where a piece of flesh on his big toe was torn off.


At the time, Park also included child abuse charges in the complaint, claiming that Cho verbally abused their twin children, and he released a video showing her shouting loudly.


Subsequently, the police investigating the case sent former Vice President Cho to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment on assault and child abuse charges.



The prosecution dismissed the child abuse charges due to lack of evidence.
