New Delhi: A US federal court on August 10 dismissed the criminal case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, allowing federal prosecutors to withdraw the charges. In April 2026, a legal team led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr., who represented Gautam Adani, met officials at the US Department of Justice. Adani was charged in 2024 with allegedly agreeing to bribe Indian government officials to secure approval for a solar energy project involving an Adani Group subsidiary. In a civil case filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Gautam Adani agreed to pay $6 million, while his nephew Sagar Adani agreed to pay $12 million. Following the ruling, Gautam Adani welcomed the court’s decision, saying he accepted it with “humility and deep respect” for the judicial process.
