On November 21, US authorities indicted Gautam Adani and others over alleged bribes of over $250 million paid to Indian government officials, aimed at helping Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) secure solar energy contracts from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
AGEL had in November clarified that founder chairman Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and senior executive Vneet S Jaain have not been charged with violations of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and bribery charges.
The civil and criminal cases against Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and other officials, pursued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Eastern District of New York, have been assigned to a single judge in a US court.
The Adani Group, their executives, and the two law firms Quinn Emanuel and Kirkland & Ellis did not respond to queries.
