Uae Gupta Brothers

South Africa said Friday that the UAE has turned down its request to extradite two brothers from the wealthy Indian-origin Gupta family to face trial in this country on fraud and corruption charges.

South Africa said Friday that the United Arab Emirates had turned down its request to extradite two brothers accused of orchestrating industrial-scale corruption.

The South African government on Monday said it has submitted a formal extradition application to the United Arab Emirates for Rajesh Gupta and Atul Gupta of the wealthy India-born brothers of the Gupta family.

South Africa on Monday said the United Arab Emirates had arrested Rajesh Gupta and Atul Gupta, brothers who face charges of political corruption under former South African President Jacob Zuma.

The UAE has ratified a 2018 extradition treaty with South Africa, its embassy in Pretoria said on Wednesday, a move that President Cyril Ramaphosa's government hopes will lead to the return of the Gupta brothers to face corruption charges.

South Africa will approach the UN in a bid to extradite the controversial Gupta brothers from the UAE, where they are in self-exile, as talks with the Emirates have delivered no results, Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said on Friday.

Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar has been arrested in Mumbai in connection with a case of extortion. The arrest was made by Pradeep Sharma, a former encounter specialist who heads the Anti-Extortion cell of the Thane Police.
