It is probable that the Guptas will use the court systems in both the UAE and SA to delay their day of legal reckoning.
These could include, for example, seeking intervention from the Indian or UAE governments to pursue a legal settlement that might involve returning their allegedly ill-gained revenue in exchange for withdrawing the charges.The first precondition for securing the brothers’ presence in court would be a bulletproof case by SA’s. This must withstand both SA and UAE judicial scrutiny.
These financial crimes have had several deleterious effects on SA. They robbed South Africans of basic social and economic resources that they need to live a decent life. Even with prosecutions, it may take years to recoup the stolen money.. The task is now up to the NPA to develop an unimpeachable case against Rajesh and Atul Gupta.
The expectations of South Africans that the state will succeed in prosecuting those who have committed atrocious financial crimes remain highThe second precondition to ensuring the Guptas return to SA to face charges is the adroit handling and ultimate success of the prosecutors in prevailing over the many legal challenges that are certain to be raised by the Gupta brothers.
It helps that the brothers have lost their enormous influence and access to SA’s presidency and other senior ANC politicians with the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as party leader
