US bribery case against Adani reaches Supreme Court, Sebi in the dock
India TodayA fresh application was filed before the Supreme Court on Sunday urging it to take on record the charges of bribery and fraud brought against billionaire Gautam Adani and his seven associates by US authorities. The petition, filed by Vishal Tiwari, alleges shortcomings in the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s investigation into Hindenburg Research's allegations against the Adani Group and raises concerns over the market regulator’s credibility. This comes as Sebi recently launched an inquiry into US allegations that Adani Green Energy, a subsidiary of the Adani Group, failed to disclose an investigation into the alleged bribery scheme. The Adani Group has denied all allegations, calling them “baseless.” The charges have intensified scrutiny of the Adani Group, which previously faced allegations of improper use of offshore tax havens from US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research.
