Don't know. What I really liked was that the vile people thought they'd bought their way out of it by coming to confidential arrangements with the people they'd egregiously exploited, only for the prosecutor to carry on. 
I wish I'd seen their faces when they found that out

Very pleasing verdict but not sure if they'll do any time - an appeal is underway and none of them are currently in Switzerland
Following the verdict, Bertossa requested an immediate detention order for Ajay and Namrata Hinduja, claiming a flight risk.
The defence denied the risk on the grounds that Kamal Hinduja is hospitalised in Monaco and the three other family members were at her bedside.
It was not immediately clear whether the four would be extradited from the principality to serve their sentences.

Why are rich people so tight (understatement here)?
I guess because thats how they get rich.
Still never ceases to amaze me

ask the bird...
I wonder if they have no idea what it's like to be poor?
I have a friend who's son and daughter in law are both investment bankers and they never tip taxi drivers, or delivery drivers. Ever.
Apparently they are getting paid already so don't need a tip.
Some of my tightest customers were minted and the worst off often very generous.

Is so vanilla
They're never going to serve any time though.
Imagine simultaneously being that rich and yet so stingy and exploitative, paying staff a pittance and making them work such long hours and sleep on mattresses on the floor.
I mean, even if they do serve time, which is highly unlikely, the conditions in jail would be better than those to which they subjected their staff.

I don't reckon I'd have been allowed to leave a country where I was currently on trial but the rules are never the same for these mega-rich types are they?

Sorry, I didn't want to honour them with their own thread
dear old Ernie Saunders for one. Who says justice is equal.
I heard they are in Monaco, appealing the sentence and claiming I'll health. Where did I hear that beforeIf you ever wanted proof billionaires could be evil, paying £7.00 per day for 18 hour days. I bet this was the tip of the iceberg.
