A number of high-profile companies and individuals have been mentioned in the e-mails that form part of the so-called Gupta leaks. While the full impact of the Gupta leaks is yet to be determined, it is possible to provide general comments and observations about their potential impact on those mentioned, based on global and local anti-money laundering and anti-bribery and corruption legislation.

Similarly, anti-bribery and corruption laws require companies to conduct due diligence on third parties.
