Eight Abu Dhabi princesses are convicted of human trafficking over the way they treated servants in Brussels luxury hotel

Eight Abu Dhabi princesses have been convicted of human trafficking over the way they treated servants in a luxury hotel at Brussels.
The women were handed 15-month suspended sentences for human trafficking and degrading treatment at a court in the Belgian capital.
They were acquitted of the more serious charge of inhuman treatment but also ordered to pay a fine of 165,000 euros (£145,000), with half the sum suspended.
The princesses, who are from Abu Dhabi’s ruling al-Nahyan family, did not appear in court.
Defence lawyer Stephen Monod said he was pleased he case was finally resolved after nearly a decade.’
