Atul and Rajesh Gupta, business executives accused of plundering South African government resources with the support of the country’s former president, have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates, ending a run as fugitives.
Dubai police said Tuesday that the brothers were taken into custody after an Interpol red notice was issued and that law enforcement was working with South African authorities on extradition. The UAE ratified an extradition treaty with South Africa last year that was widely viewed as an attempt by the South African government to bring the brothers back to stand trial.
