An Indian-born billionaire and three members of his family have been convicted and sentenced to prison in Switzerland for exploiting domestic workers at their lakeside villa. The wealthy family was found guilty of mistreating and exploiting their employees, who were hired to work at their luxurious property. The billionaire and his family members were accused of subjecting the domestic workers to long hours of work, low pay, and poor living conditions. The workers were reportedly forced to work around the clock without proper rest or breaks, and were not provided with adequate food or accommodation. The court in Switzerland handed down prison sentences to the billionaire and his family members as a punishment for their exploitation of the domestic workers. The case has shed light on the issue of worker exploitation among the wealthy elite, and serves as a reminder that no one is above the law when it comes to treating employees fairly and ethically.

The US Supreme Court is expected to issue decisions today on several high-profile cases that are still pending. These include rulings on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for his actions related to the 2020 election, whether federally funded hospitals can be required to perform emergency abortions, and a challenge to a doctrine that impacts federal regulations. The court released four decisions yesterday, covering lesser-known criminal justice issues and a tax dispute. President Joe Biden is currently at Camp David with no public events scheduled, likely preparing for an upcoming debate with Trump. Trump's fundraising has increased significantly since his criminal conviction in May, bringing his financial resources closer to those of the Biden campaign. Additionally, a court has denied a request from Trump ally Steve Bannon to delay the start of his prison sentence for contempt of Congress, meaning he must report to prison by July 1st. The Supreme Court has set next Wednesday as the date for releasing more opinions on outstanding cases from the recent term.
