Pretoria - Justice Minister Jeff Radebe says the police and National Prosecuting Authority are responsible for deciding whether the Gupta family will be prosecuted for the irregular landing of their plane at Waterkloof Air Base. Radebe was delivering a summary of the findings of an investigation into the landing of a privately chartered plane by the Gupta family at the Air Force base on April 29. The plane carried 270 guests who were attending the wedding of Vega Gupta at Sun City. The landing sparked widespread criticism. Radebe said the investigation has so far revealed that collusion among officials resulted in the irregular approval of flight clearance, while the Guptas resorted to name-dropping to get authority. Karin Labuschagne reports.
