Lawyers for Gautam Adani on Wednesday urged a U.S. judge to formally dismiss criminal charges against the Indian billionaire, after the Justice Department said last month it would no longer pursue the prosecution.
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.
