As reported by News 24, a UAE lawyer stressed that the anticipated legal battle that would follow the NPA's request for the Gupta brothers' extradition would "definitely not be open to the public... because it is so political".
The brothers are lawyered up and are fighting any effort to have them extradited to South Africa, as that would mean that they finally have to face their criminal charges.

The terms of South Africa's extradition agreement with the UAE state that the brothers can only be extradited if they have been charged with or convicted of an extraditable offence.
