ActionSA cautiously optimistic about Gupta arrest
7 June 2022
ActionSA welcomes the news of the arrest of the Rajesh and Atul Gupta in Dubai last night, following the issuing of a red notice by Interpol.
This arrest is good news for the people of South Africa, and we celebrate it after many months of having driven this issue in the public domain.
We remain optimistic that this arrest will lead to the extradition of the Guptas, the extraction of further evidence against others involved in State Capture, the incarceration of all individuals involved and the seizing of assets to recoup the losses to our country.
It would, however, be foolhardy to not express our collective optimism to be both cautious and subject to strong civil society accountability.
