  • 阿达尼于2024年被指控,罪名是同意贿赂印度政府官员,以便其旗下阿达尼集团的子公司获得太阳能电站开发审批,同时通过对外传递公司反腐败举措的虚假安心信息,误导美国投资者。
  • 在致驻布鲁克林的美国地区法官尼古拉斯·加劳菲斯的信函中,阿达尼的律师罗伯特·朱夫拉写道,此案应被驳回,原因是该案超出美国司法管辖范围,且检方无法证明印度境内被指控的受贿行为。
  • 阿达尼集团始终否认存在不当行为。
  • 加劳菲斯必须签署批准撤销此案。
  • 朱夫拉写道,司法部决定撤销起诉书,是在与阿达尼及其同案被告的律师团队“经过数月细致且广泛的沟通与会晤”之后作出的。
  • 朱夫拉同时敦促加劳菲斯正式撤销美国证券交易委员会提起的民事指控。此前该监管机构已达成和解协议,阿达尼将支付600万美元,其侄子萨加尔·阿达尼将支付1200万美元。
  • 阿达尼企业有限公司(股票代码:ADEL.NS)已另行同意向美国财政部支付2.75亿美元,以和解涉嫌违反伊朗制裁规定的相关指控。

  • Adani was charged ​in 2024 with agreeing to bribe Indian government ⁠officials so a subsidiary of his Adani Group could win ​approval to develop a solar plant, and then misleading U.S. ​investors by providing reassuring information about his company’s anti-corruption practices.
  • In a letter to Brooklyn-based U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis, Adani’s lawyer, Robert Giuffra, wrote that ​the case should be dismissed because it was beyond ​the reach of U.S. law and because the prosecutors would not be ‌able ⁠to prove the alleged bribery in India.
  • Adani Group has consistently denied wrongdoing.
  • Garaufis must sign off on the dismissal of the case.
  • Giuffra wrote that the Justice Department’s decision to drop the indictment ​came after “months ​of detailed and ⁠extensive communications and meetings with counsel” for Adani and his co-defendants.
  • Giuffra also urged Garaufis to ​formally dismiss civil charges brought by the U.S. ​Securities ⁠and Exchange Commission after the regulator reached a settlement in which Adani would pay $6 million and his nephew, Sagar Adani, would ⁠pay $12 ​million.
  • Adani Enterprises Limited (ADEL.NS) has separately agreed ​to pay the U.S. Treasury Department $275 million to settle alleged violations of Iran ​sanctions.
