Question:

Assume that a Korean company manufacturing critical tail assemblies for commercial aircraft ships several defective assemblies to manufacturers in the United States. The CEO, a Korean national, was not only aware of the defects at the time the assemblies were being made, but was responsible for knowingly using inferior parts. He even threatened an engineer with termination if he leaked the truth. One of the assemblies failed on the American-made plane, leading to the crash of a Canadian-flag passenger airline on takeoff from New York. When the investigation leads to him, he flees Korea for Saudi Arabia, where he lives for several years in luxury. Which countries have jurisdiction to prosecute the Korean citizen, and under what legal principles? You do not need to research any international treaties, but should base your analysis on general principles from this chapter. Subsequently, the U.S. government arranges for his abduction from his home in Saudi Arabia and transport to the United States to stand trial. Does he have the right under the U.S. Alien Tort Claims Act to sue the United States for damages resulting from the abduction?
