NPA seeks restraint order against Gupta assets

The National Prosecuting Authority’s Investigating Directorate is asking the Free State High Court for a restraint order to freeze Gupta assets. The case is expected to be heard tomorrow and Friday. Former Transnet board member, and Gupta family business associate, Iqbal Sharma’s assets are estimated to be worth more than R13-million, with the Gupta assets at more than R30 million. The case relates to the almost R25-million paid by the Free State Department of Agriculture for a feasibility study of potential farming projects in the province. A provisional restraint order was granted in June last year and was extended three times.
