New Delhi: Representatives for Indian billionaire Gautam Adani have reportedly met with officials from President Donald Trump’s administration, aiming to have criminal charges against him dismissed in an overseas bribery investigation.
The talks, which began earlier this year, have gained momentum and could reach a resolution in the coming weeks, according to Reuters, citing Bloomberg News.
Adani’s team is reportedly arguing that his prosecution is inconsistent with Trump’s priorities and should be reconsidered.
US authorities indicted Adani and his nephew, Sagar Adani, last year alleging that they paid bribes to secure Indian power supply contracts and misled U.S. investors during fund raises. The SEC accused them of paying millions in bribes to Indian officials while misrepresenting anti-bribery compliance during a $750 million bond offering by Adani Green Energy.
Meanwhile, representatives for the Adani Group, the US Justice Department, and the White House have declined to comment on the report.
