Hindujas get over 4 years' jail for exploiting workers at Swiss mansion

The workers were mostly illiterate Indians who were paid not in Swiss francs but in Indian rupees, deposited in banks back home that they couldn't access. 

The workers were mostly illiterate Indians who were paid not in Swiss francs but in Indian rupees, deposited in banks back home that they couldn't access.

An Indian-born billionaire and three family members were sentenced to prison on Friday for exploiting domestic workers at their lakeside villa in Switzerland by seizing their passports, barring them from going out and making them work up to 18 hours a day.
A Swiss court dismissed more serious charges of human trafficking against 79-year-old tycoon Prakash Hinduja; his wife, Kamal; son Ajay and daughter-in-law Namrata on the grounds that the workers understood what they were getting into, at least in part. The four received between four and 4 1/2 years in prison.
The workers were mostly illiterate Indians who were paid not in Swiss francs but in Indian rupees, deposited in banks back home that they couldn't access.
Lawyers representing the defendants said they would appeal.
Robert Assael, a lawyer for Kamal Hinduja, said he was &ldquo;relieved&rdquo; that the court threw out the trafficking charges but called the sentence excessive.
&ldquo;The health of our clients is very poor, they are elderly people,&rdquo; he said, explaining why the family was not in court. He said Hinduja's 75-year-old wife was in intensive care and the family was with her.
A fifth defendant - Najib Ziazi, the family's business manager - received an 18-month suspended sentence.
Last week, it emerged in court that the family had reached an undisclosed settlement with the plaintiffs. Swiss authorities have seized diamonds, rubies, a platinum necklace and other jewelry and assets in anticipation that they could be used to pay for legal fees and possible penalties.
Along with three brothers, Prakash Hinduja leads an industrial conglomerate in sectors including information technology, media, power, real estate and health care. Forbes magazine has put the Hinduja family's net worth at some $20 billion.
The family set up residence in Switzerland in the 1980s, and Hinduja was convicted in 2007 on similar charges. A separate tax case brought by Swiss authorities is pending against Hinduja, who obtained Swiss citizenship in 2000.
In this case, the court said the four were guilty of exploiting the workers and providing unauthorised employment, giving meager if any health benefits and paying wages that were less than one-tenth the pay for such jobs in Switzerland.
Prosecutors said workers described a &ldquo;climate of fear&rdquo; instituted by Kamal Hinduja. They were forced to work with little or no vacation time, and worked even later hours for receptions. They slept in the basement, sometimes on a mattress on the floor.

Hinduja Group's IndusInd International Holdings makes a significant move into India's mutual fund sector by acquiring a majority stake in Invesco Asset Management India

Hinduja Group's IndusInd International Holdings has made its foray into the asset management space by acquiring a majority 60% stake in Invesco Asset Management India, the domestic arm of US-based Invesco.
This acquisition marks Hinduja Group's entry into the mutual fund arena, positioning itself as a key player in India's financial ecosystem. With Invesco Mutual Fund ranking as the 17th-largest fund house in India, boasting an average assets under management exceeding Rs 74,300 crore in the last quarter, the deal holds significant promise for both entities.
The joint venture (JV) formed between IIHL and Invesco is aimed at leveraging the respective strengths of both partners. While Invesco brings its portfolio of global products and processes to the table, IIHL's extensive distribution network, comprising over 11,000 touchpoints across India and serving a customer base of 45 million, promises robust market penetration.
This move underscores Hinduja Group's broader ambition to diversify its presence across the financial spectrum. Previously, the conglomerate secured control over various entities of Reliance Capital, expanding its footprint in segments such as insurance, broking, and asset reconstruction.
The Invesco deal not only enhances Hinduja Group's portfolio but also challenges the dominance of bank-backed fund houses in India's mutual fund landscape. With stalwarts like SBI MF, ICICI Prudential MF, and HDFC MF reigning at the top, the entry of a new player with a formidable backing could potentially reshape market dynamics.
As regulatory approvals are awaited, the deal heralds a new chapter in India's mutual fund industry, highlighting the evolving landscape and the increasing competition among players vying for a larger slice of the market pie.
