Police raid Korean Air in probe of chairman's daughter

Police raided the headquarters of Korean Air Lines Co. on Thursday as part of a probe into allegations that its senior executive, who is also a daughter of the company's chief, assaulted an advertising company official at a business meeting.

Six officials from the Seoul Gangseo Police Station were sent to search the main office of the country's biggest airline in western Seoul and confiscate evidence, police said. 

Cho Hyun-min, the younger daughter of Chairman Cho Yang-ho, is accused of yelling at the ad firm manager and throwing water in his face during a meeting last month. She has been booked and banned from overseas travel pending the probe.
