Two associates of the Gupta brothers, one of them a former director of Estina, were on Tuesday arrested for fraud.
“The investigation established that Estina submitted customs clearance documents in support of a VAT refund claim. The customs declaration was then scrutinised and placed under the proverbial magnifying glass, whereupon the declared value of over R37.7m for a so-called 'new' pasteurisation plant was suspected to be excessively high,” the two entities said in a statement.
“This observation led to a joint investigation between Sars and the ID, in the spirit of co-operative governance and collaboration, as provided for in terms of section 41 of the constitution of SA.
