Gautam Adani SEC indictment

Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, has been indicted by the US on charges of bribery and fraud under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The allegations include a scheme involving Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and six others, who allegedly paid bribes to Indian government officials to secure solar energy supply contracts worth $2 billion in profits over 20 years. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed a complaint in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, claiming the group raised $175 million from US investors during the scheme.

How can govt be part of probe into itself: Cong's dig at MEA on Adani issue

The Congress on Saturday took a swipe over the Ministry of External Affairs' statement that the Indian government is not part of the US probe into Adani Group in any manner, asking how can this government be part of a probe into itself. In the first official reaction after the industrialist was charged with alleged fraud by prosecutors in the United States, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is yet to receive any communication for cooperation in the case. The Indian government is not part of the matter in any manner at this point of time, he said. Tagging a media report on the remarks, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "The MEA spokesperson says that the Indian Government is not part of the US probe into the Adani Group.

Legal matter involving private firms and US justice dept: MEA on Adani case

Days after US prosecutors charged industrialist Gautam Adani and some others with bribery and fraud, India on Friday said it is a legal matter involving private firms and certain individuals and the US Department of Justice. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the Indian government was not informed about the issue in advance. "This is a legal matter involving private firms and individuals and the US Department of Justice. There are established procedures and legal avenues in such cases, which we believe would be followed," he said. Jaiswal was responding to a question on the charges slapped against Adani and others during his weekly media briefing. To a question on whether the United States has served a summons or warrant on the Adani case, he said India has not received any such request. "Any request by a foreign government for service of summons or arrest warrant is part of mutual legal assistance. Such requests are examined on merits," Jaiswal .

No negative actions so far by investors on Adani after indictment: CRISIL
