DOJ fires prosecutor after Adani case dismissal sparks questions

A federal prosecutor who had been assigned to the now-defunct case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani was fired by the Trump administration after the government moved to drop the indictment. Adani faced charges in 2024 alleging a scheme to defraud U.S. investors to win a bid to develop India’s largest solar power plant; U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis later tossed the case, criticizing the government’s conduct, while the DOJ defended the dismissal. The firing adds to reports of the administration replacing personnel after high-profile investigations, sometimes via what insiders call Article II letters.

The indictment had alleged a multi‑billion‑dollar scheme to obtain U.S. funds and secure Indian solar contracts through bribes to officials.

Democrats demand answers after DOJ drops Adani fraud case amid investment-offer allegations

Democratic senators question the DOJ’s decision to drop fraud charges against billionaire Gautam Adani, alleging the move looks transactional and possibly tied to Adani’s offered U.S. investment; prosecutors said they wouldn’t devote further resources to the case, which centers on alleged bribery and fraud to win India’s largest solar plant. The letter asks whether White House or political influence played a role and seeks explanations by June 25, with Adani denying the accusations and the DOJ/White House communications under scrutiny.

US Drops Fraud Charges Against Gautam Adani in Solar Deal Case

U.S. prosecutors asked a Brooklyn judge to dismiss criminal fraud and conspiracy charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani in connection with a solar-power deal, citing prosecutorial discretion; the judge must approve, and Adani has never been arrested or faced trial. The move follows a related SEC settlement and years of scrutiny over Adani’s ties to the Modi government and past allegations of misconduct in the energy sector.

Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's plan to redevelop the Dharavi slum in Mumbai, one of Asia's largest slums, is facing doubts and allegations of favoritism.
