Bribes, Fraud, and $750M: Gautam Adani Faces Explosive U.S. Corruption Charges
Explore the shocking bribery and fraud allegations against Gautam Adani and his associates. Learn how the U.S. SEC is taking action in this $265M scandal now!
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has been charged in the United States over allegations of bribery and fraud involving $265 million. According to U.S. prosecutors, Adani, along with his nephew Sagar Adani and several other associates, engaged in a scheme to pay bribes to Indian officials in order to secure lucrative solar energy supply contracts. These contracts reportedly yielded significant profits for Adani Green Energy, part of the Adani Group, and Azure Power, another energy company implicated in the case.
The charges, filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), claim that the Adani Group violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by misleading U.S. investors about their anti-corruption efforts during a $750 million fundraising round in 2021, which included $175 million from American investors. Allegations also include falsifying documents and misrepresenting governance practices to secure funds.
The Adani Group has denied the allegations, emphasizing its commitment to governance and compliance, and plans to challenge the charges in court. The case has reignited scrutiny on the conglomerate, already facing fallout from prior controversies.
