No Time in Jail for “Nut Rage” Daughter and Mom for Hiring Illegal Maids
The biggest surprise for me is not that they illegally hired Filipino maids, but do you really need 11 maids in one home?:
The wife and the eldest daughter of late Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Yang-ho received suspended jail sentences for illegally hiring Filipino maids.
On Tuesday, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Lee Myung-hee, the wife of Cho Yang-ho, to 18 months in prison, suspended. The court also sentenced Cho Hyun-ah, infamous for the so-called “nut rage” incident, to one year, suspended.
Korean Air was fined 30 million won ($25,660) in the case.
The Cho family members were charged with illegally hiring 11 Filipino women as maids by passing them off as Korean Air employees.
The suspended prison sentences for the two Cho family members are significantly higher than what prosecution demanded. The prosecutors had asked the court only to fine the two: Lee 30 million won and Cho Hyun-ah 15 million won.

Well perhaps 11 because they demand 24/7 care of themselves and the house? Considering the entitlement culture displayed in Nut Rage incident they probably believe they deserve 11 maids, for whatever reason.
