In a landmark case, four members of Britain’s richest family have been sentenced to prison after being found guilty of exploiting their workers and providing unauthorized employment. Prakash Hinduja, his wife Kamal, their son Ajay, and his wife Namrata received sentences ranging from four to four-and-a-half years in prison. The sentencing follows their conviction by a Swiss court.
