Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and six others face US charges over an alleged $US265 million bribery scheme. The Adani Group, which oversees global infrastructure projects, including in Australia, has issued a statement denying any involvement of the company or its executives in civil or criminal offences and vowed legal action. Corporate litigation lawyer Dr Apurva K Sharma told SBS Hindi that while Adani is indicted, not convicted, the case could harm the conglomerate's reputation. She also praised Australia’s strong laws for safeguarding against corporate fraud.
