A maid who claimed she was kept as a slave could face prosecution for perjury after an employment tribunal ruled she made up her tale of appalling abuse, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Yoyoh Binti Salim Udin lost her £750,000 compensation claim after the panel concluded she was treated kindly by her employers and told ‘wicked lies’ to the hearing.
Last night the couple who she lived with said the Indonesian had made up the stories to be allowed to stay in the country.
The 40-year-old claimed she was slapped, strip-searched, made to sleep on the floor and locked up and had her passport confiscated by London-based millionaires Lina and Firas Chamsi-Pasha.
She said that she drank acid in an attempt to kill herself so she could escape 17-hour days as the Syrian couple’s slave.
But an employment tribunal rejected her claim for race discrimination and constructive dismissal and concluded she made up the story because of the ‘shame’ of being caught stealing from her employers.
Yesterday employment law expert Lawrence Davies, of the Equal Justice firm, said: ‘Tribunals are under a duty to report crimes, including perjury, to the police. In the light of their findings that the claimant gave grossly untruthful evidence on oath, that would appear to be the situation in this case.’
It can also be revealed that:
* Salim Udin is thought to have cost the taxpayer nearly £1million in NHS bills, legal aid, tribunal costs, policing costs, free housing and other hand-outs.
* As a supposed ‘trafficking victim’, she was given money and housing from a Government-funded project to help such people.
* Her former employer, Mrs Chamsi-Pasha, remains on bail 18 months after being arrested at her home on suspicion of unlawful imprisonment, assault and threats to kill.
Salim Udin was brought to Britain in 2004 by Mrs Chamsi-Pasha and her husband, who owned a £4million Central London flat and a large home in Huddersfield near 52-year-old Mr Chamsi-Pasha’s textile business.
Her job was to look after sons Faysal, then four, and two-year-old Zeyd.
