- 法官责令检方于7月13日前说明驳回指控的理由
- 美国司法部上月表示将不再追究这起诉讼
- 阿达尼的律师辩称案件不受美国司法管辖
纽约6月26日路透电——美国一名法官周五下令美国司法部就其撤销针对印度亿万富翁高塔姆·阿达尼的刑事指控的决定作出解释,拒绝立即就阿达尼律师团队本周早些时候提出的正式驳回该案的请求作出裁决。
阿达尼于2024年被起诉,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能够获得开发一座太阳能电站的审批,随后又向美国投资者提供有关公司反腐败措施的保证信息,误导投资者。

阿达尼集团始终否认存在不当行为。
美国司法部上月表示将不再追究这起诉讼。阿达尼的律师周三向位于布鲁克林的美国地区法官尼古拉斯·加劳菲斯提出正式驳回该案的请求。
加劳菲斯在提交至法院案卷的书面裁决中表示,联邦检察官宣布将放弃此案的通知未充分说明其决定,并给检方设定了7月13日的最后期限,要求其提交更多相关信息。
“政府简短、笼统且结论性的陈述,既未为法院作出任何结论提供充分依据,也未给法院留出对政府驳回请求进行任何分析的空间,”加劳菲斯写道。
负责提起这起诉讼的布鲁克林美国检察官办公室的一名发言人未立即回应置评请求。
阿达尼的律师罗伯特·吉夫拉提及他周三写给加劳菲斯的信函,辩称此案应予以驳回,原因是该案不受美国司法管辖,且检方无法证明在印度发生的所谓贿赂行为。

- Judge gives prosecutors until July 13 to justify dismissal
- Justice Department said last month it would no longer pursue the prosecution
- Adani’s lawyer argued case was beyond the reach of US law
NEW YORK, June 26 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge ordered the Justice Department on Friday to justify its decision to drop criminal charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, declining to rule immediately on Adani’s lawyers’ request earlier in the week to formally dismiss the case.
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.

Adani Group has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The Justice Department said last month it would no longer pursue the prosecution. Adani’s lawyers asked Brooklyn-based U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis on Wednesday to formally dismiss the case.
In a written ruling published to the court docket, Garaufis said federal prosecutors’ notice that they would abandon the case did not sufficiently explain their decision and gave them a July 13 deadline to submit more information.
“The Government’s terse, bland and conclusory statement affords the court neither a sufficient basis to reach any conclusion, nor the opportunity to conduct any analysis of the Government’s request for dismissal,” Garaufis wrote.
A spokesperson for the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office, which brought the charges, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Robert Giuffra, a lawyer for Adani, referred to the letter he wrote to Garaufis on Wednesday, arguing the case should be dismissed because it was beyond the reach of U.S. law and because prosecutors would be unable to prove the alleged bribery in India.
