Interpol issues ‘red notice’ vs. Zuma’s allies

South African prosecutors on Monday announced a key step in their bid to extradite Indianborn brothers who were allegedly at the center of a massive web of corruption.

The three Gupta brothers — Ajay, Atul and Rajesh — are at the center of a probe into the embezzlement of state assets under former President Jacob Zuma.

The prosecution authority’s chief investigator, Hermione Cronje, said Interpol had issued a “red notice” against two of the brothers, Atul and Rajesh.

The three brothers are at the center of a 2016 graft report by South Africa’s anti-corruption watchdog, which claims they paid bribes in exchange for massive state contracts and influence ministerial appointments.
