Let D be a division algebra and let D* denote the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of D. In [3] Herstein and Scott asked whether any subnormal subgroup of D* must be normal in D*. Our purpose here is to show that division algebras over certain p-local fields do not satisfy such a “subnormal property”.
