US Judge Dismisses Fraud and Bribery Charges Against Gautam Adani
A U.S. federal judge dismissed criminal charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani after the Justice Department decided to drop its fraud and bribery case. The case involved allegations that Adani's companies bribed Indian officials to secure approvals for a solar energy project and misled U.S. investors. Judge Nicholas Garaufis approved the dismissal after questioning the Justice Department's rationale and Adani himself denied any promises linked to the case's dropping. The Adani Group has consistently denied wrongdoing.
