Gupta family
The
Gupta family is a wealthy and influential business family from
India, with close ties to former
South African President
Jacob Zuma and his administration. The family's most notable members are the brothers
Ajay,
Atul, and
Rajesh "Tony" Gupta—as well as Atul's nephews
Varun, and
US-based Ashish and
Amol. The family's business empire in South Africa spanned a variety of industries, including mining, media, and technology. The family name has become synonymous with
corruption in South Africa as well as
undue influence, and
state capture. They have been sanctioned by multiple countries for their activities, with investigations ongoing in both South Africa and the United States. Many prominent South Africans and politicians have been linked to the family's alleged corrupt activities, including members of the ruling
African National Congress (ANC) party. The Gupta family has since fled South Africa and has been spotted in
Switzerland, the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), and
Vanuatu.
