In November 2012, Mauritius ambassador Somduth Soborun pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge of failing to pay his housekeeper the US minimum wage while representing Mauritius at the United Nations in 2009.
Soborun, who did not invoke his diplomatic immunity, was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and nearly $25,000 in back wages to the woman, whom he brought from the Philippines to take care of his home in New Jersey.
But unlike Khobragade, none of them was arrested or handcuffed or strip-searched.
