Gautam Adani has been accused of corruption and fraud
There is every chance that there will be a stir on this issue in the Parliament session. Gautam Adani has been accused of corruption and fraud. Adani is alleged to have paid bribes of more than $250 million to Indian officials to obtain solar contracts worth $2 billion over two decades. Gautam Adani is currently in India. The US investigative agency could request his extradition. However, Indian courts will decide whether these charges apply under Indian law.
Additionally, political and human rights concerns will be evaluated. Adani can oppose extradition. This can delay the entire process. Gautam Adani is yet to respond to any of the allegations. He has not yet appeared in any US court. If they are extradited or surrendered, their lawyers can contest the charges.
Legal proceedings, debate over evidence and separate trials for other defendants linked to Adani could prolong the process.
The case is unlikely to begin in court soon. Legal proceedings, debate over evidence and separate trials for other defendants linked to Adani could prolong the process.

In addition to this, a heavy fine can also be imposed on them. The determination of any sentence will ultimately depend on the judge handling the case. This information has been provided by Reuters. Adani’s legal team can appeal any conviction, which could lead to a lengthy legal battle. Adani Group has denied the allegations and termed them baseless. They claim to follow the laws.
