Hindujas Appeal Swiss Court Ruling Amid Exploitation Allegations

The Hinduja family, Britain's wealthiest, has expressed disappointment over a Swiss court's ruling that sentenced some members for exploiting workers. The family, challenging the verdict, highlights that the workers testified they were treated respectfully. Though acquitted of human trafficking, the family is appealing parts of the judgment.

In a dramatic turn of events, Britain's wealthiest family, the Hindujas, are grappling with a Swiss court's decision that imposed jail terms on several members for allegedly exploiting vulnerable domestic workers from India.

A family spokesperson on Saturday vehemently denied any imprisonment or detention, pointing out that Swiss law mandates a presumption of innocence until the highest court issues a final judgment. He added that all allegations had been withdrawn after workers claimed they didn't understand the statements they signed and testified they were treated with utmost respect.

The Hinduja family, whose wealth was recently estimated at around GBP 37.196 billion, has filed an appeal to overturn parts of the judgment. Their legal team insists on their clients' innocence, emphasizing that earlier reports of human trafficking charges were dismissed.
