Hindujas Appalled by Swiss Court Ruling, File Appeal Over Exploitation Verdict
  • Country:
  • United Kingdom

The Hinduja family, Britain's wealthiest, expressed dismay at a Swiss court ruling on Friday, which resulted in jail terms for several family members in Geneva due to allegations of exploiting vulnerable domestic workers. An appeal has been filed in a higher court.

Attorneys representing Prakash and Kamal Hinduja, in their 70s, and younger members Ajay and Namrata, strongly refuted the accusations. They emphasized the family's acquittal on human trafficking charges and denied that any family member faced imminent detention, contrary to various media reports.

Under Swiss law, individuals are presumed innocent until a final verdict is given by the highest authority. The family believes that the truth will eventually prevail despite the current ruling, which they have challenged in a higher court.
