Billionaire Gautam Adani is accused of agreeing to pay more than US$250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to obtain solar energy supply contracts worth US$2 billion.
NEW YORK: Gautam Adani, the billionaire chair of Indian conglomerate Adani Group and one of the world's richest people, has been indicted in New York over his role in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme, US prosecutors said on Wednesday (Nov 20). CNA
An Indian man, or is he an American citizen, bribing Indian government officials for a contract to supply solar energy in India, is being prosecuted in American courts. What has an Indian man and bribery and contracts in India got to do with the American laws and can be prosecuted in America?
Oh, the Americans have a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and Adani is alleged to have violated this Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a US anti-bribery law. Is this an inThe case involves alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a US anti-bribery law. Is this an international law that can be applied to anyone, any citizen of another country and crimes committed outside the American jurisdiction?
Oops, I forget, the American Empire owns the whole world and the whole world is subject to American's Rules Based Order! The Americans can arrest and prosecute anyone, any citizen of any country under their Foreign Law.
Adani is an Indian citizen, so what? What can he do about it? What can India or Modi do about it? Or is this another sign of American displeasure of Modi and picking faults with India? We just have the release of Indian terrorist activities against a Canadian by the Americans. So this is nothing new. America is not happy with Modi. Modi better stay away from Putin and BRICS or else....more trouble and coercion from the USA.

India bragged too much about wanting to be the next superpower and 'factory of the world'. This is courting its own disaster. Indians should learn from what the USA did to Japan and Germany, and now to China.
The USA cannot tolerate anyone becoming better than what it is. Even going downhill, the USA must make sure others go down faster so it still remains the top dog. That is its warp mentality.
