"Even A Rich Family...": Capitalmind CEO On Hinduja Family's Conviction For Exploiting Staff
NDTV
Reacting strongly to the Swiss Court ruling, Capital Mind CEO Deepak Shenoy criticised the Hinduja family for poor treatment of their domestic staff.
Four members of the Britain's richest family - the Hindujas - have been convicted by a Swiss court for exploiting the domestic staff at their villa in Geneva. Justice has been served. Even a rich family like the Hindujas can't get away from employment protection; you can't withhold passports, lock people in your house, make them work 18 hours per day, and still pay them peanuts. Jail terms and fines in Switzerland for the Hindujas. https://t.co/pr4AWaaMwv
Prakash Hinduja and his wife Kamal Hinduja each got four years and six months, while their son Ajay and his wife Namrata received four-year terms.
The family members were, however, acquitted of more serious charge of human trafficking, on the grounds that the workers had travelled to Switzerland willingly.
