Alleged state capture fugitives Rajesh and Atul Gupta are behind bars in Dubai, but the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) will need to make a compelling case for their extradition to ensure they finally face trial in South Africa.
After News24 revealed the brothers had been arrested, over four months after Interpol issued a red notice for them in connection with fraud and money laundering charges, the justice department confirmed it had "received information from law enforcement authorities in the United Arab Emirates [UAE] that fugitives of justice, namely, Rajesh and Atul Gupta have been arrested".
"Discussions between various law enforcement agencies in the UAE and South Africa on the way forward are ongoing. The South African government will continue to cooperate with the UAE," it added.
