Gautam Adani's Lawyers Request U.S. Judge to Dismiss Criminal Charges
Lawyers for Indian billionaire Gautam Adani have urged a U.S. judge to formally dismiss criminal charges after the Justice Department decided not to pursue the case. Adani was accused in 2024 of bribing Indian officials to secure solar plant approvals and misleading U.S. investors. The defense argues the case exceeds U.S. jurisdiction and lacks provable evidence. Adani Group denies wrongdoing. Civil charges with the SEC and Treasury were settled with payments totaling millions of dollars. The judge's approval is required to dismiss the case.
