«Mon envie a eu raison de moi» : un homme d’affaires indien viole en plein vol une adolescente endormie de 15 ans
The rape occurred during a nine-hour flight from Mumbai to Zurich. The suspect, who was the victim's neighbor at the time, was given a suspended sentence.
A sordid affair. A 44-year-old Indian businessman was sentenced this Tuesday, August 19, in Switzerland to an 18-month suspended prison sentence and a five-year ban from entering the country, according to numerous Swiss media outlets. The charges relate to the rape he committed as a passenger on a Swiss Air flight from Mumbai to Zurich, involving his 15-year-old neighbor.
The incident dates back to March 2025. The man, married in India and due to travel to Switzerland on business, found himself sitting next to the teenager on the journey for more than nine hours. According to the indictment filed by the Zurich prosecutor's office, the man first engaged in a "superficial conversation" with the girl and waited until she fell asleep before sexually assaulting her.
“My desire got the better of me”
He first placed his hand on her thigh, before sliding it down her pants and inserting a finger into her vagina. He then forced the girl to rub his penis with her hand over her pants. In a state of shock, the teenager endured the assault "without a word or movement."
The man was arrested upon disembarking the plane. He initially denied the charges, but later confessed and was remanded in custody. The businessman eventually pleaded guilty to rape and sexual acts with a minor before the Bülach District Court. In court, he said, "My desire got the better of me," admitting that he was aware that his neighbor was young, but that he was unaware of her exact age. He expressed regret.
The Bülach court sentenced the businessman to an eighteen-month suspended prison sentence, five years of expulsion from Switzerland, and a lifetime ban on working with minors. He was released and handed over to the Migration Agency for deportation. The sentence was "entirely appropriate," according to the judge.
