Adani prosecutors must justify dropping criminal case, US judge rules
The judge said the government’s dismissal request lacked enough factual support and gave prosecutors until July 13 to explain the move.
- On Friday, US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis ordered the DOJ to justify dropping criminal charges against Gautam Adani, setting a July 13 deadline for prosecutors to provide factual support for the dismissal.
- Federal prosecutors moved to dismiss the 2024 indictment against Adani last month after the billionaire pledged a $10bn investment in the United States, despite earlier allegations of a $250 million bribery scheme.
- Settling separate allegations, Adani and his nephew, Sagar Adani, agreed to pay $18 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission, while Adani Enterprises Ltd. paid $275 million to resolve a Treasury Department probe into Iran sanctions violations.
- Represented by Robert Giuffra, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, Adani met with Donald Trump Jr. last November, and his counsel James McDonald was tapped by Trump to serve as Manhattan's top federal prosecutor.
- The conglomerate plans to focus on its next phase of growth, with Adani stating the matter is "now behind us" while consistently denying any wrongdoing regarding the federal charges.
