Hinduja Family Members Convicted in Swiss Court for Exploiting Domestic Workers
News summary

Four members of the UK's richest family, the Hindujas, have been convicted in Switzerland for exploiting domestic workers at their Geneva mansion. Prakash Hinduja, his wife Kamal, their son Ajay, and Ajay's wife Namrata received prison sentences ranging from four to four-and-a-half years for seizing workers' passports, forcing them to work up to 18 hours a day, and providing meager wages and poor living conditions. The family has vehemently denied the charges, with their lawyers stating they were acquitted of human trafficking and have filed an appeal against the exploitation convictions. Despite the appeal, the court's ruling has brought significant attention to the labor practices of the billionaire family, whose wealth stems from the multinational conglomerate, Hinduja Group. The case revealed a stark contrast between the lavish lifestyles of the family and the severe conditions faced by their employees. The family's appeal process continues under Swiss law, where the presumption of innocence remains until final judgment by a higher court.
