The U.S. Justice Department is reportedly close to dropping criminal fraud charges against Gautam Adani, a prominent Indian billionaire, following a year of legal scrutiny. This development may materialize as early as this week, as indicated by sources familiar with the ongoing proceedings. Concurrently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also moving toward settling its parallel civil fraud case involving Adani and others, which has overshadowed his business dealings since November 2024. The potential dismissal could mark a significant reprieve for Adani and the Adani Group, which is involved in diverse sectors including renewable energy, ports, and airports, according to Indiatimes, SCMP, Reuters, and Reuters.
