The Hinduja family, prominent billionaires, are on trial in Switzerland for human trafficking allegations involving their villa on Lake Geneva. Workers were reportedly paid as little as $8 a day for 15 to 18-hour shifts, with passports confiscatedāan accusation denied by the family’s lawyer. A civil case settlement was reached recently after six years, addressing claims of underpaid wages and excessive working hours. Prosecutors seek prison terms and a compensation fund. The family’s defense emphasizes their non-involvement in day-to-day staff management.
