The billionaire Hinduja family spent more on their pet dog than they paid one of their servants, according to a Swiss prosecutor who urged jail terms of as long as five and a half years at a trial over alleged trafficking and exploitation of Indian staff at their Lake Geneva villa.
Prosecutor Yves Bertossa launched a blistering attack on the family at the Swiss city’s criminal court on Monday morning, citing testimony from the staff and Hindujas, as well as evidence submitted during his investigation.
