CIVIL rights organisations were disappointed after the UAE dismissed South Africa’s request to extradite the Gupta brothers, Rajesh and Atul.
They are wanted by South African authorities for money laundering and fraud.
In June 2021, the UAE ratified an extradition treaty with South Africa, which would allow for the brothers to be brought back to the country.
A year later, following an Interpol red notice, the Dubai police arrested them at their home in Emirates Hill, Dubai.
At the time, the UAE’s justice minister confirmed an extradition request from the South African government was being processed.
