Prakash Hinduja and his wife Kamal, along with their son Ajay and his wife Namrata, were, however, cleared by a court in Switzerland of more serious charges of human trafficking linked to their servants.
Four members of Britain's richest family have received jail sentences after being found guilty of exploiting their vulnerable domestic workers and providing unauthorised employment. Indian-born tycoon Prakash Hinduja and his wife Kamal, along with their son Ajay and his wife Namrata, were, however, cleared by a Swiss court of more serious charges of human trafficking linked to their servants.
Geneva prosecutors opened the case for alleged illegal activity including exploitation, human trafficking and violation of Swiss labour laws. What did the prosecution allege? The prosecution said the workers - who were in jobs such as cooks or house help - were sometimes forced to work up to 18 hours a day with little or no holiday time off. And their pay was less than one-tenth of the comparable amount required under Swiss law, it was alleged.
