Gautam Adani, billionaire chair of the Adani Group, has been indicted in New York for his role in a $265 million bribery scheme, according to U.S. prosecutors. Alongside his nephew Sagar Adani and former Adani Green Energy CEO Vneet Jaain, he faces charges of securities fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, and bribery. The charges involve paying bribes to Indian officials to secure contracts for a $2 billion solar power project. Arrest warrants have been issued for Gautam and Sagar Adani. Prosecutors allege the group concealed corruption to raise over $3 billion through loans and bonds. Shares of Adani Group companies fell 10-20%, and Adani Green Energy canceled a $600 million bond offering. GQG Partners, a major Adani investor, saw its stock plunge 20% amid the fallout. The Adani Group has not commented on the allegations. Gautam Adani, worth $69.8 billion, is believed to be in India. #startupsmedia #AdaniScandal #BriberyCharges #GlobalBusiness #FinancialFraud
