Gautam Adani, indicted in US, is a controversial first-generation tycoon

All the Adani Group’s publicly listed entities are in compliance with all applicable laws,

I am wondering why Mr Adani is still running around a free man in this country?”

I saw death at a distance of just 15 feet,

he said of the experience after his private aircraft landed in his hometown Ahmedabad later that day

This indictment alleges schemes to pay over US$250 million in bribes to Indian government officials, to lie to investors and banks to raise billions of dollars, and to obstruct justice,

said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lisa Miller

Gautam Adani and seven other business executives allegedly bribed the Indian government to finance lucrative contracts designed to benefit their businesses ... while still other defendants allegedly attempted to conceal the bribery conspiracy by obstructing the government's investigation,
