The Hinduja family, Britain's wealthiest of Indian origin, was convicted in Geneva for exploiting underpaid domestic workers. Prakash (78) and Kamal Hinduja (75) received 4.5-year sentences, while Ajay Hinduja and his wife Namrata were sentenced to 4 years. Workers, paid in rupees to inaccessible accounts in India, endured long hours for minimal wages. The court found the family guilty of exploiting vulnerable staff, rejecting severe human trafficking charges. Assets were confiscated to cover legal penalties. The family plans to appeal the decision.
