ANC calls for swift extradition of arrested Guptas
The African National Congress (ANC), on Tuesday called for the swift extradition of Rajesh and Atul Gupta after they were arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"We call on law enforcement authorities in South Africa and the UAE to expedite the extradition of Messrs Gupta to South Africa so that the charges against them can be adjudicated by a court of law," the ANC said in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday Dubai's police confirmed the arrest of the Guptas and said it had coordinated with South African authorities "regarding the extradition file to complete the legal procedures".
Dubai's police said the Gupta brothers were wanted for money laundering and other criminal charges in South Africa.
The Gupta brothers are accused of using their connections with former president Jacob Zuma, in power from 2009 to 2018, to win contracts, siphon off State funds and influence cabinet appointments.
Zuma and the Guptas have denied wrongdoing.
