South Africa’s government expressed concern that the United Arab Emirates has yet to provide an update on a request to extradite Atul and Rajesh Gupta, who are wanted on charges of money laundering and fraud.
While the South African authorities have sought to ensure that the application for the return of the two men to South Africa meets UAE requirements, there has been no update, Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola said in a statement on Thursday. South Africa’s Central Authority has made various inquiries with the UAE, he said.
