The relatives of the victims of the Jeju Air plane crash in South Korea have filed a lawsuit against the airline's CEO, transport minister, and more than 10 other officials. According to them, gross negligence caused the tragedy.
Up to 72 family members have called for a thorough investigation into the incident that took 179 lives. They say this was not a simple accident but a major disaster resulting from mismanagement.
Despite a nearly five months of investigation, the real cause of the plane crash at Muan International Airport has still not been determined. The police had also conducted a criminal investigation before filing the latest complaint.
Jeju Air CEO Kim E-bae has been banned from leaving the country, as the investigation process continues despite a court decision.
