U.K.’s Richest Family Spent More on Dog Than Paying Staff, Court Hears
The richest family in the United Kingdom is facing a reckoning in Swiss court over allegations that they subjected servants to deplorable conditions and engaged in outright human trafficking.
Earlier this week, Swiss prosecutor Yves Bertossa accused four members of the Hinduja family of spending more per year on their dog than on pay for members of their staff.
In the most egregious case, prosecutors said, a staff member was allegedly paid less than $8 “to work for up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week,” The Telegraph reported.
