JOHANNESBURG. – The Hawks have confirmed that three people have been arrested at the Gupta family compound in Saxonwold, among them a Gupta brother and associate. The Hawks say two other suspects are expected to hand themselves over to police.

A security guard told Reuters that police raided the Oakbay holding company’s offices on Wednesday. The guard, who did not want to be named, said officers arrived in three vehicles around 7.30am and entered the building. They left shortly afterwards, the guard said.
The controversial family have been implicated in wide-ranging allegations of corruption. The family’s also been implicated in the theft of millions of rand from the Estina Dairy Project.
