Gautam Adani and nephew agree to pay $18 million to settle SEC civil fraud case
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani have agreed to pay $18 million combined to settle a civil securities fraud lawsuit filed by the US SEC. The SEC had accused them of paying bribes to Indian officials for renewable energy projects and misleading US investors about anti-bribery compliance during a $750 million bond offering. The settlement does not include admission or denial of allegations and bars the Adanis from future violations of US anti-fraud laws.
