Why are  #US  authorities taking such keen interest and action in  #AdaniGroup 's alleged bribery scheme thousands of miles away in  #India ? 

The reasons mainly pertain to the companies’ activities and presence in the US and them having American investors. 

The connection with the Adani Group primarily pertains to an  #AdaniGreen  corporate bond issuance in 2021, which involved US investors. 

As for  #Azure , even as it primarily did business in India through a subsidiary, it had securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

US prosecutors in New York have indicted Adani Group Chairman  #GautamAdani , his nephew Sagar Adani and 6 others for allegedly offering Rs 2,029 crore (US $265 million) in bribes to Indian govt officials for securing “lucrative  #solar  energy supply contracts” with state electricity distribution companies.
