Judge Dismisses Gautam Adani Fraud Case After DOJ Abandons Probe

A Brooklyn judge dismissed the criminal fraud and bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani after the U.S. Justice Department said it would not pursue the prosecution. The judge sought justification for the dismissal; Adani had previously pledged to invest $10 billion in the United States—a pledge he says was not tied to any resolution—and he has not appeared in U.S. court to respond to the charges. The DOJ argued the case was largely foreign and difficult to prove, and a court filing clarified the pledge was not part of any deal.

DOJ Drops Adani Fraud Case After He Hired Trump’s Lawyer, Reports Say

Reports say the US DOJ dropped fraud charges against billionaire Gautam Adani after he retained Trump’s lawyer, Robert Giuffra Jr., who allegedly proposed a $10 billion US investment and 15,000 jobs if charges were dropped. New York indictment last year accused Adani and two executives of bribery and deceiving investors; prosecutors say such offers should not influence outcomes. Giuffra, co-chair of Sullivan & Cromwell, has strong ties to both Trump and Modi-linked business networks amid ongoing controversy over the Adani Group.

Adani Group Faces Mounting Legal and Financial Challenges Amid US Charges

US investment bank Jefferies, which has been instrumental in helping Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's business empire raise capital, finds itself in a challenging position following US charges against Adani for an alleged $256 million bribery scheme. Jefferies' relationship with Adani has significantly boosted its presence in India, but the charges have led to internal debates about continuing this partnership. The situation is further complicated by other companies, like TotalEnergies, suspending investments with Adani due to the corruption probe. Jefferies has not commented on the charges but may reassess its future dealings with Adani.
