US authorities move to resolve fraud cases against India's Adani, Bloomberg News reports
The proposed settlement could include financial penalties, while the criminal case has stalled for more than a year because the defendants have not appeared in court.
- The United States Justice Department may drop criminal charges against Gautam Adani regarding a $250 million bribery scheme, sources reported, as defendants remain outside the country.
- In November 2024, prosecutors filed a five-count indictment alleging Adani and associates promised $250 million in bribes to Indian officials for solar contracts; the Adani Group consistently denied all allegations.
- The Securities and Exchange Commission is moving toward a settlement in its parallel civil fraud case, which may include financial penalties, while Adani's legal team previously argued regulators lacked jurisdiction.
- Resolving these cases could permit the Adani Group to return to international capital markets and revive global expansion plans, according to people familiar with the matter.
- Last month, Attorney Robert J. Giuffra Jr., one of President Donald Trump's personal lawyers, met with Justice Department officials in Washington to argue prosecutors lacked sufficient evidence.
