NPA mum on state capture investigations

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has yet to receive any dockets about cases involving state capture. According to a News24 report, a team of prosecutors continued to give guidance to police investigators, NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku said on Thursday. National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams seemed in no mood to speak to journalists earlier in the day, after taking a seat on stage at a gender-based violence discussion in Tshwane. He was asked how the investigation into the Gupta family was progressing. ‘I am not commenting on anything. Speak to my spokesperson. Speak to the Hawks insofar as the investigation into the Guptas is concerned,’ Abrahams reportedly said. He said Advocate Malini Govender, head of the specialised commercial crimes unit, was supervising the team helping the Hawks. Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said corruption cases linked to state capture were still being investigated. He said their mandate was not to comment about ongoing investigations.
