Defence min demands probe into woman pilot 'hazing'

(ANSA) - Rome, January 16 - Defence Minister Elisabetta Trenta on Wednesday demanded that an investigation get to the bottom of hazing allegations by a woman pilot cadet.
    "It's an extremely serious case, which I am following with attention," Trenta said.
    "There's an ongoing probe and whoever must pay will pay," she said.
    The former cadet, Giulia Jasmine Schiff, said she had been through a "baptism of flight" including being forced to headbutt a plane wing and dive into a swimming pool.
    The alleged hazing, complete with sexist remarks and insults, was allegedly so bad she quit the pilot training programme, she told Corriere della Sera newspaper.
