Gautam Adani SEC indictment

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.

My name not mentioned anywhere, says Jagan Reddy on Adani bribe controversy

YSRCP top leader and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday strongly refuted allegations of payment of bribes to Andhra Pradesh officials by the Adani Group for solar power purchases during his party-led government, and said his name was not mentioned anywhere in a US court's indictment on the matter. In his first reaction days after the controversy broke out, Reddy also said he had met the Adanis several times during his tenure as the CM of Andhra Pradesh which was "not unusual". "Nowhere it mentions that incentives were offered to me because there is no way anybody can offer incentives to me, first of all. And businessmen meeting heads of states is not unusual. This in fact is an ordinary practice," he told reporters. He further said the allegations of bribes are all hearsay and nobody has said that Jagan or somebody has taken bribes. Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani has been charged by the US Department of Justice over his role in a years-long scheme to pay USD

RS proceedings washed out again amid uproar over Adani, Sambhal issues

Rajya Sabha proceedings were washed out for the third consecutive day on Thursday after uproar by opposition MPs over the Adani issue and violence in Manipur and Sambhal. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar's appeals that Parliamentary disruption was not a remedy but a malady which weakened the foundation of India's democracy went unheeded as the opposition members continued to protest. The proceedings of the Upper House were adjourned within minutes after it met at 12 noon, following one adjournment shortly after 11 am. Recalling that Wednesday marked a historic milestone -- the beginning of the final quarter-century before India's Constitution turned 100 -- Dhankhar lamented that the House members missed the opportunity to engage in productive dialogue. "This was a moment for our House of Elders, guided by the spirit of nationalism, to send a powerful message of hope to 1.4 billion Indians, reaffirming our commitment to their dreams and journey towards Viksit Bharat at 2047," he said.
