4 Hinduja family members sentenced to jail for exploiting staff

A Swiss court has handed jail sentences to four members of Britain's richest family Hindujas on Friday for exploiting Indian staff at their Geneva mansion. The Hindujas were acquitted of human trafficking, but convicted on other charges in a stunning verdict. The family has an estimated net worth of $47 billion. This is around Rs 392820 crore.

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 presiding judge in Geneva ruled. The cases stem from the family's practice of bringing servants from their native India and included accusations of confiscating their passports once they were flown to Switzerland.
