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.[3] The family's most notable members are the brothers Ajay, Atul, and Rajesh "Tony" Gupta—as well as Atul's nephews Varun,[4] and US-based Ashish and Amol.[5] 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,[6][7][8][9][10][11] and state capture.[12] They have been sanctioned by multiple countries for their activities,[13][14] 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,[15] the United Arab Emirates (UAE),[16] and Vanuatu.[17]
