A 10-week defence campaign involving about 600 pages of legal submissions, presentations and expert testimony helped persuade the US Justice Department to drop bribery and securities fraud charges against billionaire Gautam Adani, according to newly unsealed court filings that detail how one of the year's highest-profile corporate prosecutions was abandoned. Robert J. Giuffra Jr, Adani's lead lawyer and co-chair of Sullivan & Cromwell, in a July 14 filing said the effort, which ran from February 3 to April 17, included a 118-page submission to prosecutors, a 12-page supplemental filing and two slide presentations totalling 130 pages. A separate 151-page presentation was also submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission in March. The filing provides the clearest public account yet of how federal prosecutors reversed course in one of the year's most closely watched corporate prosecutions. The case began on November 20, 2024, when US prosecutors unsealed an indictment ...
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has denied under oath that there was any promise, agreement or deal behind the US Department of Justice's move to dismiss a criminal indictment against him, saying, in a sworn affidavit, that he was unaware of any exchange connected to the decision. The affidavit was filed in response to a July 8 order by the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York asking Adani to state under oath whether he was aware of any promise, offer or agreement related to the dismissal of the indictment. Adani said he was not aware of "anything promised, offered, sought, received, agreed to, or accepted" by anyone in connection with the dismissal, and denied knowledge of any agreement involving an exchange of anything of value for dropping the criminal charges. The Justice Department had moved to dismiss charges filed in 2024 under the Biden administration, accusing Adani and seven others of participating in a scheme to pay about USD 250 million in bribes to .
Adani Enterprises Ltd has partnered with French clean-technology company Dioxycle to develop low-carbon chemical manufacturing in India, beginning with a pilot plant to produce formic acid using captured carbon dioxide and renewable electricity, the companies said on Friday. The project will be located at an Adani Group site and aims to demonstrate how captured carbon emissions can be converted into industrial chemicals using renewable power. Subject to successful validation of the pilot, the partners plan to scale up the technology for commercial production. Formic acid is used across industries including textiles, agriculture and manufacturing. The partnership marks Adani Group's entry into low-carbon chemicals, expanding beyond its renewable energy and infrastructure businesses. The companies said they will also explore producing other industrial chemicals used in sectors such as energy, materials, packaging and manufacturing, many of which continue to rely on fossil fuel-based
Billionaire Gautam Adani will file this week a sworn affidavit in a US federal court stating whether he is aware of any promise, agreement or benefit linked to the US government's decision to dismiss a criminal indictment against him. US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis directed Adani to file the affidavit by July 15 before ruling on the Justice Department's motion to dismiss the indictment with prejudice. The judge asked Adani to state whether he is aware of any promise, offer, agreement or benefit connected to the dismissal, or of any exchange made in return for the charges being dropped. Sources said Adani is likely to file the affidavit this week. The Adani group did not offer any comment on the issue, saying the matter is sub judice. The order of June followed a filing by Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General in the Department of Justice, R Trent McCotter, who said he was the "final and sole decision-maker" behind the dismissal and denied media reports that the decision
The opposition CPI(M) on Saturday alleged that the recent removal of IAS officer Divya S Iyer as the Managing Director of Vizhinjam International Seaport was aimed at benefiting the Adani Group, and demanded that Chief Minister V D Satheesan explain the reasons behind her transfer. Senior CPI(M) leader and Kannur district secretary K K Ragesh made the allegation in a Facebook post amid the ongoing controversy over Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd's (APSEZ) proposed transfer of a 49 per cent stake in Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Limited (AVPPL), the port concessionaire, to Switzerland-based shipping giant Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). Ragesh alleged that Iyer had played a key role in safeguarding the state's interests by resisting attempts to alter provisions of the Vizhinjam port concession agreement and claimed that Adani authorities had made repeated efforts to have her removed from the post. He further alleged that the then Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had ...
Adani Green Energy Ltd on Wednesday said it has surpassed 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first clean energy player in India to achieve the milestone through greenfield development. The company generates over 52 billion units of clean electricity annually. The output accounts for nearly 3 per cent of India's electricity consumption, which is enough to power New York City for a year, or almost the combined electricity needs of Mumbai and New Delhi, the Adani Group company said in a statement. The milestone has been achieved within a decade of commissioning AGEL's first renewable energy project at Kamuthi in Tamil Nadu in 2016, making it India's largest and fastest greenfield renewable energy capacity addition company. The company added 5,051 megawatts (MW) in FY26, the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China. Commenting on the milestone, Sagar Adani, Executive Director, Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), said, ...
A US federal judge's decision to seek a fuller explanation from prosecutors before approving the dismissal of criminal charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is a procedural requirement and does not signal that the case is likely to proceed, according to a senior US lawyer familiar with federal criminal practice. "The judge's order is procedural," lawyer Chris Man said. Under Rule 48(a), the Department of Justice must obtain leave of court to dismiss an indictment, and judges can ask questions or seek additional briefing before ruling. "That, by itself, is not unusual," he said. The lawyer added that there is little precedent for a federal court compelling prosecutors to continue pursuing a criminal case once the Justice Department has decided it should be dismissed. Judges "have little discretion," he said. "There is effectively no modern precedent for a judge forcing the Department of Justice to prosecute a case that the executive branch has determined should be abandone
