where are the COMMENTS by the other side !
what a biased production !!!
Swiss calvinism believes in HARD work BUT PAY COMMENSURATE WITH THEIR LIVING STANDARDS . GOOD FOR THEM .
Good decision
Send them for 10 yrs at least
Weren't these the people we had all the scandal with when they were paying Peter mandelseon for British passports??
Billionaires again. Too much money creates more evil acts
Finally some judges with a backbone somewhere. Anywhere else it would have been swept under the rug. Confiscating your workers passports and forcing them to stay there should be life in prison.
If it’s true, they’re simply evil.
It is called SLAVERY
Britain is the nation where all the stolen wealth of the world goes …. And the billionaires cannot survive without their human slaves.
Now, let's do a video on how much East India company paid to the country their exploited for 200 years.
Hinduja, the name itself says they are Indians (Hindu).
This isnt just greed, it is demonic. Demons in human form.
Reminds me of the Patels in Iowa who pay their housekeepers $7.00 per room cleaned
The board of directors and CEOs of these gig companies (Uber, DoorDash, etc.) need to be arrested next. My wife and I have been slaving away for less than minimum wage, delivering food and groceries to people who usually live in the best houses in the city. DoorDash, Instacart, Uber, and many other "gig economy" apps are just carefully disguised methods to profit from slave labor.
This is the rich are so unliked.
Justice is served.
Another achievement for India 😂😂😂😂😂
It's utter slavery. When I lived in Saudi Arabia, the "servants" as they were called, worked from the time they got up till the last family member left after the evening prayer which is usually 4 or 5 am. They slept on thin mattresses on the floor and were seen as nothing but work horses. Africans, Indonesians and Pilipino's, they were all treated like absolute SLAVES. These greedy animals should have to live their workers lives while in prison and work 7 days a week with maybe 2 days off a month till they cant see straight. They slave in a hot kitchen night and day, clean the house every SINGLE DAY from top to bottom, it's torture and disgusting!
This isn’t an isolated case, unfortunately.
I don’t think these filths have that kind of money to begin with. The net worth is only an estimate and not everything included in the estimate is liquid. They can’t afford the maids with Swiss minimum wage but won’t admit it. Now they had to liquidate a ton of their assets to form out those expensive defense counsels!!!🤣🤣🤣
They should have just paid the maids their normal wages and be done with accusations. They should have learned from other “billionaires” who were also charged and convicted of the same thing all over the civilized world!! (Yeah, outside the US and European realms, no other countries/continents would ever persecute “billionaires” and help the maids’ case.)
Guilty!
Rich from human rights exploitation.
And what good can come out from Switzerland?
the wealthiest family in britain isn't even british. looks like the brits are being betrayed by their government too,
If u know anything about working for Indians. They never pay on time and they never pay well meaninehile they live in the life of luxury. Indian emplyers all do this.
It's rampant in Britain tho
Lots of billionaires pay cheap wages.
Money can't buy character. Why bother with so much money?
No one deserves to have that much wealth. Period.
Money can't buy you ethics, morals and class
They're not British
The thing is, this is happening over and over in Geneva. But usually it‘s done by people with diplomatic immunity. I‘m happy to see the court rule justice here. But I hope you journalists start looking into the dirty behaviour of CD people in Geneva and around the world.
Indian British family?
Hindu is chorr
Guaranteed, there's more
The funny thing is the lawyers are so earnest; and they will not get paid.
Why, just why would you do this to others. It just goes to show that money is not at the centre of exploiting people. Is it that they had nothing else to do?
Nothing will happen 2 them
New world order incoming?
Well one cannot be humane and rich at the same time 😅
Modi will save them out soon.
The rich need to remember how the French Revolution turned out. Back then, the wealthy learned the hard way, that it is the people who decide when they've had enough. And then it's too late.
Bring back gibbetting.🙂
Fantastic. Cheap people.
