Hinduja Family Faces Human Trafficking Trial Over Treatment of Domestic Staff

Swiss prosecutors allege exploitation, passport confiscation, and inadequate pay for long hours at Geneva villa.

Four Hinduja family members are accused of paying staff as little as $8 for 18-hour workdays.
Prosecutors claim the family spent more on their pet dog than on staff wages.
The trial follows a financial settlement with some plaintiffs, but criminal charges remain.
Defense lawyers argue that the family provided accommodation and food, disputing the claims of exploitation.
The case highlights ongoing issues of domestic worker mistreatment in Geneva.
