Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani, and Vneet Jaain have not been accused of any violations of the FCPA in the charges outlined in the US Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment or the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) civil complaint, Adani Green Energy informed the stock exchanges.

Adani Green Energy clarified that only officials from Azure and CDPQ faced bribery charges in the DOJ indictment, and no bribery charges were leveled against any Adani group executives. The indictment also did not mention any specific amount for potential fines or penalties, it was noted.

“The media reports claiming that some of our directors—specifically Mr. Gautam Adani, Mr. Sagar Adani, and Mr. Vneet Jaain—have been charged with FCPA violations are inaccurate,” the statement said.

“They have not been named in any charges related to bribery, corruption, or conspiracy to obstruct justice,” the report continued.

Earlier, S&P Global Ratings had indicated that the alleged bribery case involving Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani and senior executives could negatively impact the group’s ability to secure funding and raise funding costs.
