Bias

90%

Examples:

  • The defendants' motives were selfish.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The family denied all allegations, claiming that prosecutors wanted to 'do in the Hindujas.'
  • They had reached a confidential out-of-court settlement with the three employees who made the accusations against them, leading them to drop their legal action.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The court acquitted them of the more serious charge of human trafficking, on the grounds that the workers had travelled to Switzerland willingly.
  • The Hindujas confiscated their staff's passports and rarely allowed them outside their villa.
  • The Hindujas paid their staff only $8 for working up to 18 hours a day, less than a tenth of the wage mandated by Swiss law.

Deceptions

40%

Examples:

  • The defence had also claimed that Namrata Hinduja was pregnant at the time of the alleged offences and could not have committed some of the acts she was accused of.
  • The defence had argued that the three employees received ample benefits, were not kept in isolation and were free to leave the villa.
