Clorox Bleachman 2,402 Posted June 22 Kamal Hinduja, wife of Prakash Hinduja and member of Britain's richest family, said to be in intensive care with relatives at her bedside in Monaco. She's 75 and the family is worth £37bn. https://www.euronews.com/2024/06/22/switzerland-jails-members-of-uks-richest-family-for-abusing-workers What a shame! She and 3 other family members have just been sentenced to 4 years in jail for exploiting impoverished Indian workers and spending less money on them than on the family pets. Her husband didn't attend the trial either, due to ill health. If she's not faking her illness, long may she go through unbearable agony. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
