Adani allegedly misled investors by providing information about the company\u2019s anti-corruption practices. Prosecutors said he and his alleged co-conspirators raised more than $3bn in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The government dropping the case comes amid recent changes in Adani\u2019s legal team. The billionaire, the 17th richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $108bn according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, appointed to his legal team Robert J Giuffra Jr, who also happens to be one of US President Donald Trump\u2019s personal attorneys, according to reporting from The New York Times last week.<\/p>\n<p>Giuffra Jr said that Adani would pledge an investment of $10bn in the US, which, according to the newspaper, would bring in 15,000 jobs. He also stressed, according to the paper, that the billionaire denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Adani said that he wanted to invest in the US but \u201ccould not do so while the cases proceeded\u201d, according to the Reuters news agency, which cited unnamed sources familiar with the case.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the US Department of the Treasury announced a $275m settlement with Adani over alleged sanctions violations involving Iran. The company was accused of buying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from a Dubai-based trader purporting to supply Omani and Iraqi gas that had actually originated from Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Adani Enterprises has also ceased imports of LPG into India and created a head of compliance role to ensure it follows US Treasury Department guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also settled a civil suit with Adani last week over the alleged bribes, though the agreement still needs legal approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf approved by the court, [it] would order Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani to pay civil monetary penalties of $6,000,000 and $12,000,000, respectively,\u201d the SEC said in a statement released on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Adani did not respond to Al Jazeera\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/economy\/2026\/5\/18\/us-drops-fraud-charges-after-billionaire-adani-pledges-10bn-investment\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businessman Adani was accused on bribing Indian officials and misleading US investors to a secure solar power plant project in India.
