Adani Group stocks and bonds nosedived on November 21 after US prosecutors charged founder Gautam Adani and key executives with bribery, fraud, and evidence tampering in a $250 million scheme to secure solar energy contracts in India. Adani Enterprises, Adani Green Energy, and Adani Energy Solutions saw shares drop 10-20%, while dollar bonds also faced steep declines. The SEC has also filed a civil lawsuit against the group, adding to the growing legal pressure. These allegations come as the group works to reduce debt and rebuild investor confidence after the Hindenburg controversy earlier this year, which wiped out over ₹12 lakh crore in market value.

As the Adani group is back in the news as Gautam Adani has been indicted on bribery charges by the American authorities, I wanted to repost 😉 this Fraud case based on the shortseller Hiddenburg report about regulations breaches. Learn more about this new case involving bribery under FCPA. From the indictment statement from the Eastern district of New York (see below), we can learn that the Adani group was indicted for having bribed Indian government officials with M$ 265, especialy one single official who received M$ 228. The scheme consisted in bribing officials to buy overpriced power from the SECI that was buying solar energy from an Adani Company but also involving other investors in the scheme to finance the bribes. Group Shares value fell by 10% after the announcement but 20% for the energy entity Learn more from the investigation details here You will learn that they have not been very cautious and used personnal phones 😅 to manage the deals. https://lnkd.in/egY_YNjU #condorstrike
