NATIONAL NEWS - SA’s elite crime busters – the Hawks – also known as the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation on Wednesday morning swooped on the Gupta family home in Saxonworld, where they reportedly arrested one of the brothers and an associate.
Enca is reporting that one Gupta brother and an associate have been arrested, but Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said it was “just speculation”.
He said the Hawks had “concluded that operation” and were moving on to other addresses to continue their probe.
The Guptas have a close relationship with President Jacob Zuma and his family. They are accused of using undue influence on government officials in charge of state-owned enterprises in order to score lucrative contracts.
