The US treasury department in charge of the Gupta investigation says there will be consequences worldwide for kleptocratsThe US government has refused to give reasons why it sanctioned the Gupta brothers and Salim Essa only and not US firms implicated in wide-ranging state-capture allegations in SA.

In July 2018, McKinsey agreed to voluntary return more than R1bn relating to consultancy fees it charged Eskom for its 2016 turnaround programme, saying that it did not want any “tainted money”. McKinsey worked alongside Gupta-linked company Trillian Capital in the project. “As you may know, we don’t comment on why we do or not take action against certain individuals,” said Mandelker, adding there was a long-standing practice prohibiting commenting on the kind of action they might take in future. She made the remarks a day after the US imposed sanctions on the Gupta brothers Ajay, Atul and Rajesh, and their business associate Essa.
