Britain's wealthiest family, the Hindujas, have expressed their dismay over a Swiss court's decision sentencing them to jail for allegedly exploiting Indian domestic workers at their Geneva villa. The family announced an appeal to a higher court, maintaining their innocence amid media reports of their detention.

In a statement, Swiss lawyers representing Prakash and Kamal Hinduja, along with their son Ajay and his wife Namrata, clarified that their clients were acquitted of all human trafficking charges. They refuted stories suggesting the family faced immediate imprisonment.

The legal team emphasized that the family has not been detained and pointed out that the plaintiffs had previously withdrawn their complaints. The Hinduja family remains confident in the judicial process, believing that the truth will ultimately emerge.
