Domestic staff for the billionaire Hinduja family settled a civil case over alleged worker exploitation in Switzerland after they withdrew their complaints while a criminal case against them continues.
A deal to end the civil suit was reached this week, Olivier Peter, a lawyer for one of the three claimants said, without confirming the details of the accord. The settlement comes more than six years after the workers filed their case. The legal proceedings have been beset by delays but got underway this week in Geneva.
