Alleged state capture kingpins Atul and Rajesh Gupta are facing extradition for alleged fraud and money laundering - but lawyers for the family's network are adamant the case they were arrested for in Dubai is non-existent.
"This matter should not be in this court, this matter should not have been brought even be in the magistrate's court because they [the National Prosecuting Authority] haven't worked out their case," advocate Mike Hellens SC, who represents both the Gupta brothers, their associates and companies, told the Free State High Court in Bloemfontein on Friday.
"They [the NPA] intend to add Mr Atul Gupta to this trial one day, on a case that they don't understand," he added.
