When the UK Foreign Office announced, last week, sanctions imposed on the Gupta brothers under the new Global Anti-Corruption regime; there were questions on just how more of their alleged South African associates were not included in the measures.
Only local businessman Salim Essa was affected and together with Ajay, Atul and Rajesh Gupta, they were among 22 individuals from six countries around the world placed under sanctions for being involved in “notorious corruption cases.”
