The customs agency has been trying to compare the Cho family’s credit card records with customs data to find products that were purchased abroad but not registered at the local customs office to confirm whether the family smuggled goods. There were reports from inside sources claiming the family members disguised their personal goods as airplane parts or company commodities to avoid paying customs taxes. If the probe confirms the accusations against the siblings, the heirs may face up to five years in jail or a penalty worth 10 times the amount of import duties they should have paid. More seriously, the result could add fuel to ongoing public protest against Korean Air. Some Koreans have even requested the government take away the company’s airline license, although that scenario is fairly unlikely. As the Cho family continues to face investigations from multiple law enforcement agencies, Hanjin Group announced Monday that it has appointed Mok Young-joon, a former justice of the Constitutional Court of Korea, as the head of its newly established compliance committee. The committee is intended to prevent further power abuse within the group. Mok is currently head of the social contribution committee at Kim & Chang law firm. The committee will invite other members from outside the company to supervise the group and ensure that the management does not abuse its power. The exact number of committee members or how it will be run is yet to be finalized.
