Sorry probably been going on for decades.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm55gzvv1dro
These people don't just wake up one morning and decide to do this.
It is bred into them due to their wealth.
Arrogance, inflated belief in their worth and the the belief all others are worthless.
Trickle down economics is a total myth.
It's good to see action being taken, but I bet the only penalties, if found guilty, are financial which would mean nothing to these people.
Domestic slavery, or whatever you want to call this sort of exploitation and control of domestic staff, is a curse and is going on in Britain as well.

Fwiw, I met a housekeeper (one of eight full time housekeepers) who worked for Lakshmi Mittal at his house in Kensington
She was Indonesian and said the boss spoke her language to her and was all round nice. She had her own room etc. Mittal went to Indonesia when he left India and so knows the language
We have a cleaner who comes for 8h a week. She fits us in around other work
One day she turned up at a client's house in Paddington, rang the intercom to find out they didn't need her that day. I asked her after if she was paid for that shift. Nope. They gave her money to cover oyster card use. What filthy people.

Based on my experience and interactions, people don't become ultra wealthy without being ultra ruthless.
The only ultra wealth person I know is an absolute gent and possibly the best person I ever worked for. He introduced bonuses on top of already decent salaries, and later gave everyone in the company shares. When it was sold a few years later those shares were worth a lot of money.Not all wealthy people are ruthless.
People that think like this are despicable.
"The charge of long hours was also disputed, with one defence lawyer arguing that watching a film with the Hinduja children could not really be classed as work."
Because they'd much rather be doing that in a foreign country for free than with their own families.
A proper ELE plague can't come soon enough.

There's a lot to unpick here, and a lot of questions to be asked, but overall, this is absolutely mental.
To a family of that wealth level, the cost of doing everything by the book in this instance, would have been absolutely negligible - not even the equivalent of a rounding error.
One can only assume ingrained arrogance and a superiority complex. C*nts being c*unts, essentially.

...don't underestimate the cultural traditions also likely to be at play here.
Or use them as an excuse I can highlight this on NPE without being accused or racism by the usual noisy cohort because the perpetrators are so wealthy
