His brother Atul Gupta has filed an urgent court application to challenge the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA’s) forfeiture unit from freezing R10-million in his bank account.
The money was allegedly part of more than R200-million‚ meant to benefit emerging farmers‚ that was siphoned off a dairy farm project in the Free State.
Ajay Gupta was still regarded as a wanted fugitive‚ the Hawks confirmed on Friday.
There is still a warrant of arrest out for him but the Hawks declined to elaborate on details of the corruption case for which he is being sought.
This is a developing story.
