This move is expected to provide a reprieve for the Indian conglomerate Adani Group, whose billionaire CEO Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and six other executives were investigated under the law after a New York court charged them with bribery, securities fraud, wire fraud, and other conspiracies related to solar energy contracts.
In unrelated news, New York Mayor Eric Adams received a dismissal on Monday of the bribery charges against him, with the U.S. Department of Justice instructing prosecutors to drop the charges “as soon as is practicable.” Adams had been indicted last September on a five-count indictment, which included bribery and campaign finance fraud.
