According to Swiss prosecutors, four members of the Hinduja family spent more on their pet dog than they paid one of their servants. They were accused of making their staff work 15 to 18 hour days, seven days a week

The billionaire Hinduja family – UK’s richest family – was on June 21 (Friday) found guilty of exploiting domestic workers at a luxury villa in Geneva, Swtizerland, but acquitted of the more serious charge of human trafficking.

Prosecutors had charged four members of the family — Prakash Hinduja; his wife Kamal Hinduja; their son Ajay Hinduja; and their daughter-in-law Namrata Hinduja — with trafficking and exploiting several workers from India.
