US court dismisses case against Gautam Adani: Bribery-fraud charges withdrawn; Businessman wrote- I respect the court’s decision

Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has got a big relief from America. On Monday, the US Federal Court dismissed the criminal case against him. The court has decided not to pursue the bribery and fraud case against Adani and other accused. US District Judge Nicholas Garoufis of Brooklyn granted the request to dismiss the case.

Gautam Adani was accused in 2024 of agreeing to bribe Indian government officials so that a subsidiary of the Adani Group could get approval to develop a solar energy plant. However, Adani Group had always denied these wrongdoings.

After the decision, Gautam Adani posted on X and wrote – I welcome the decision of the American court with humility and deep respect for the judicial process.

Adani denied knowledge of any agreement

In the affidavit filed in the court on July 15, Adani had said that he was not aware of any such agreement. He admitted that he had earlier promised to invest 10 billion dollars in America.

Adani said his lawyers had said in meetings with the Justice Department that this investment promise could be part of the resolution of these cases.

On May 18, the Justice Department had said that it would drop the case.

On May 18, the US Justice Department announced that it would not pursue the case.

However, charges in a case could be formally dismissed only if the judge approved.

Left school at the age of 16 and built an empire

Gautam Adani started his career with commodity trading in Gujarat in 1988 after leaving school at the age of just 16. Over the last few decades, he expanded his group into sectors like ports, airports, mining, power generation, transmission and logistics.

Today Adani Group is one of India’s largest infrastructure empires. The news of the end of the American case is being considered a big victory for the group at the global level.
