Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leadership has opened a criminal case against the Gupta family members, specifically Atul, Ajay, and Rajesh Gupta; and all Directors of their companies, including the son of the President, Duduzane Zuma, who according to the EFF is the President’s proxy in Gupta businesses.
According to a statement released by the EFF, the criminal case they opened relates to the prima facie evidence contained in the affidavit of Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan’s application to the High Court filed on the 14 October.
“The Minister’s application reveals the information already hinted by the banks that the Gupta family and their businesses are involved in money laundering, racketeering, and gross corruption that is robbing South Africa of billions of Rands. The immediate amount that has been confirmed to have been illegally and suspiciously transferred is R6.8 billion and it is clear that this amount is just the tip of an iceberg,” reads EFF’s statement.
In the statement, the EFF continued to state that they believe that a thorough criminal investigation which should be defined by cooperation of the banks, the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), the National Treasury, Lanseria Airport staff members, and many others will reveal the extent and depth of Gupta criminal syndicate, which is in the process of drying out South Africa’s resources.
