A Swiss court handed jail sentences to four members of Britain’s richest family, the Hindujas, on Friday, branding them “selfish” for exploiting Indian staff at their Geneva mansion.
Prakash Hinduja, 78, and his wife Kamal Hinduja, 75, each got four years and six months, while their son Ajay, 56, and his wife Namrata, 50, received four-year terms, the presiding judge in Geneva ruled. “The defendants’ motives were selfish,“ she said, adding that the Hindujas were motivated “by the desire for gain”.
The family paid the household staff about 325 francs a month, up to 90 percent less than the going rate, the judge said. But it added: “The family has full faith in the judicial process and remains confident that the truth will prevail.”The defence had argued that the three employees received ample benefits, were not kept in isolation and were free to leave the villa.Indeed, the employees “were grateful to the Hindujas for offering them a better life”, his fellow lawyer Robert Assael argued.
