Members of UK’s richest family given jail sentences for exploiting domestic staff

Four members of the multi-billionaire Hinduja clan, the UK’s wealthiest family, have been convicted of exploiting their domestic staff and sentenced to lengthy jail terms by a court in Geneva.

In a damning verdict, presiding judge Sabina Mascotto said the Hindujas had no excuses for their behaviour. Reflecting the seriousness of the offences the four were convicted of, Prakash and Kamal were sentenced to 4½ years in prison. Ajay and Namrata received a four-year sentence. Prakash is the second of three brothers behind the Hinduja Group, a sprawling multinational conglomerate with interests in everything from cars and petrochemicals to banking and armaments.

They were accused of keeping the staff trapped at a villa in the ultra-exclusive Geneva lakeside suburb of Cologny, where they slept in substandard conditions in basement rooms.
