Johannesburg, Apr 14 (PTI) The South African government said on Friday that fugitive businessmen Rajesh and Atul Gupta are still its citizens using the country's passports amid reports that Indian-origin brothers have acquired Vanuatu's citizenship.
South Africa said last week said that the UAE has turned down its request to extradite the two to face trial in the country on fraud and corruption charges.
The three Gupta brothers, Ajay, Atul and Rajesh are wanted in South Africa for their alleged roles in the looting of billions of rands from state enterprises. They are alleged to have used their closeness to former President Jacob Zuma to do this.
