South Africa Submits Formal Extradition Request for Two Gupta Brothers to UAE

The Gupta brothers are accused in South Africa of using their relationship with former president Zuma to profit financially and influence senior appointments.

Johannesburg: The South African government has submitted a formal extradition application to the UAE for Rajesh Gupta and Atul Gupta of the wealthy India-born brothers of the Gupta family, the country’s top prosecutor said on Monday, July 25 but cautioned that the extradition process could take several months.

The two brothers, along with their elder brother Ajay, have been in self-exile in Dubai since the net closed in on them three years ago about siphoning off billions of rands from state enterprises, allegedly by misusing their closeness to former president Jacob Zuma.
