NPA to freeze Atul Gupta’s bank account as farm is seized

According to eNCA, the National Prosecuting Authority has seized control of Estina farm as it sets out to recover R1,6 billion from the Guptas.

Meanwile, parliament committee chairperson ANC’s Mathole Motshekga, said: “The Committee expressed the wish that this process should continue without fear or favour … Nobody is above the law.”

According to reports, the AFU successfully applied for three separate orders last month from the high courts in Pretoria and Bloemfontein, in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act. It provides for the preservation of assets of defendants as well as suspects in criminal cases. If they are convicted, the assets are permanently forfeited to the State.
