Adani Group chief Gautam is 62 years old. According to Forbes, his annual net worth is Rs 7.13 lakh crore.
US short-selling firm Hindenburg Research on September 12 made a new allegation against the Adani Group. A post on X said that $310 million has been frozen in the group’s 6 Swiss bank accounts as part of a money laundering investigation in Switzerland.
The report also said that “according to new records from the Swiss Criminal Court, prosecutors have revealed how an individual associated with the Adani Group invested in BVI/Mauritius and Bermuda funds anonymously.
According to a report by a Swiss media outlet, the Geneva Public Prosecutor’s Office was investigating the Adani Group for wrongdoing long before Hindenburg made the first accusations against the group.
However, late Thursday night, the Adani Group clarified this new report. In which it called all these allegations false and said that all this is being done to reduce its market value.

Adani Group told the media- if you publish the news then add our full statement Adani Group said in a blog released on Friday, “Adani Group has no connection with any Swiss court proceedings. Nor has any account of our company been seized. Our overseas holding structure is completely transparent and in accordance with the law. We have no hesitation in saying that this is another attempt by those working to harm our reputation and market value.”
At the end of the statement, the media has also been asked not to publish this news, if they publish it then they should include the full statement of the group.

Adani Group has issued this statement late Friday night.
Adani Group was accused of money laundering and share manipulation
On 24 January 2023, Hindenburg Research published a report on the Adani Group. After the report, there was a huge decline in the shares of the group. However, there was a recovery later. Regarding this report, the Indian stock market regulator Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had also sent a 46-page show cause notice to Hindenburg.
In a blog post published on July 1, 2024, Hindenburg Research said that the notice states that it has violated the rules. The company said, SEBI has alleged that Hindenburg’s report contains some false statements to mislead readers. In response to this, Hindenburg had made several allegations against SEBI itself.
