A Swiss court has handed jail sentences to four members of Britain’s richest family for exploiting Indian staff at their Geneva mansion.
The Hindujas, who were not present in court, were acquitted of human trafficking but convicted of other charges on Friday in a stunning verdict for the family, whose fortune is estimated at £37bn.
Prakash Hinduja and his wife, Kamal, were each sentenced to four years and six months in prison, and their son Ajay and his wife, Namrata, received four-year terms.
You have Indian slaves? Here’s 4 years you’re likely not to serve much of.
You non-lethally shoot somebody in the leg and aren’t a rich fuck? Here’s a life sentence of which you are required to serve a bare minimum of 9 years of.
I’d argue the slavery is worse than shooting somebody in the leg, but he wasn’t rich so obviously he needs to be put away for a long time…
Comparing apples and oranges here: the case at hand was prosecuted by the Swiss; the one you linked was adjudicated in the UK.
Ah I see, apologies. It’s still a sham of justice imo, but you are entirely correct
