The most oniony part is hidden at the end of the article:

The victim mother and daughter met the defendant while on vacation in 2021 and began living together at the defendant's home starting the following year.
Although the mother was a housekeeper on paper, she never received a salary.
Swiss immigration authorities determined that they had entered into a false contract to obtain residency permits and ordered them to pay a fine of 2,160 francs (approx. 3.9 million KRW) and leave Switzerland.

"Sorry for what happened, and even tho it is obvious that you were essential a victim of slavery by our politician, pay this fine and fuck off so we don't have to care for your sorry ass"

The crazy part is they forced the woman and her daughter to live at the place were the abuse happened for months before offering them a new appartment.

The cherry on the cake 1 day or so before this case was known to the public, the party of that monster rejected a law that would help the victims by making sure they get a livable income while they can't work for themselves because of the trauma.

Also extra points to the SRG (swiss national broad caster) for keeping the name of the monster anonymous eventhough their party has been trying to defund them as they are not partial acvording to them. It took the victim to go to another publication for the name zo come out.

I can’t think of a way to make that politician any more hypocritical. It’s fucking insane.
