Same here. For instance, during those 3 weeks the guy was held did the butlers provide their services to both the abductors and their "guest"? Were the butlers obligated legally to call the police or is there a conflict of interest provision of not needing to rat on their bosses, to avoid getting fired? And could they be considered complicit for not calling the cops?
Around these parts, when you see a criminal act underway (shooting, robbery, etc..) or you're witness to an accident (car crash, others) or something like that, by law you are obliged to report this to the authorities.
The "we didn't know" defense, doesn't work. (Especially when it can be proven that you knew these things were going on).
Neither is your employer permitted to have you undertake or watch any unlawfull actions, during your worktime.
You're an accomplice to whatever crime is happening at that time, from the moment you witnessed it.
