Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and seven executives face charges in a US indictment related to a multi-million-dollar bribery and fraud scheme. The Department of Justice alleges the group bribed Indian officials to secure solar energy contracts worth over $2 billion. Authorities claim Adani personally met with an Indian government official to further the bribery scheme, which occurred from 2020 to 2024. Adani's group denied the accusations, calling them baseless. The charges follow previous allegations of stock manipulation and accounting fraud.
