The clock is ticking for the NPA to formally charge Gupta brothers with further state capture offences

Published on

The National Prosecuting Authority has less than 50 days to formally charge Atul and Rajesh Gupta with further state capture offenses if it wants them to face more than just the R24.9 million Nulane scam prosecution. That’s because the terms of South Africa’s extradition agreement with the UAE make it clear the brothers, who are currently in custody in Dubai, can only be extradited if they have been charged with or convicted of an extraditable offense.
