GENEVA - Four members of the affluent Hinduja family have been handed prison sentences ranging from four to four and a half years by a Swiss criminal court, following convictions for exploiting their vulnerable domestic workers.

In a significant judicial development on Friday, the court chose to dismiss the more severe charges of human trafficking.
