A member of the British House of Lords has requested the British government to put sanctions on thefamily following similar actions by the US Treasury Department. Washington has imposed sanctions on the Gupta family network over a slew of corruption allegations in South Africa.
Lord Peter Hain, who has strong ties to South Africa, has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer urging him to impose sanctions similar to the US action on the Gupta family network. In the letter, Hain writes that just as the US Treasury sanctions forbid domestic entities from doing business with the family, so too he’d like to see all UK entities instructed to impose a similar ban.
He names entities which include London-based banks like HSBC, Standard Chartered and the Bank of Boroda which he writes recently facilitated money laundering by the Guptas which Hain raised in the House of Lords both in 2017 and 2018. The Guptas are based in a number of countries including India and the United Arab Emirates. South Africa’s Justice Department has asked the United Arab Emirates to finalise the ratification of a Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement and an Extradition Treaty.
South Africa’s Justice Department is also seeking help from several countries on the matter, including the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Mauritius, Hong Kong and China.
Are the Guptas a danger to the society or what?
Great news, now what needs to be done for Markus Jooste and fake death Gavin Watson to be also put on sanctions
Why do they want to do that , did the family of Gupta's crossed their line or is just that the European countries puts their noses where they don't belong or wishes to be God of the universe ? To hell with European countries , they're not our God's .
