NEWS ANALYSIS: Estina: is the long arm of the law finally catching up with the Guptas? 🔒
The Estina dairy scam case was meant to be a hallmark “state capture” prosecution that would ensure justice for dozens of poor black farmers robbed of state funding that was earmarked for their empowerment but reportedly ended up partly funding a lavish Gupta family wedding.
Instead, the case against a Gupta family member and associates was dropped in November 2018 — because the National Prosecuting Authority was unable to obtain bank statements it needed as evidence from the United Arab Emirates. As a result, it was unable to finalise its indictment.
