Gautam Adani faces a $265 million bribery indictment in the US, TotalEnergies halts investments, and the stock market goes wild!
In a sensational turn of events, Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has found himself at the center of a massive bribery indictment, with US prosecutors laying out a staggering case involving a whopping $265 million scheme to bribe Indian officials. This news has not only made headlines in India but also raised eyebrows in international circles. As Asia's second-richest man, Adani’s financial maneuvers are being scrutinized more than ever, with the equity markets reacting in real time. Investors are holding their breath, wondering whether this scandal will trigger a domino effect on the stock market in India.
Adding more fuel to the fire, shares of Adani Green Energy plummeted by 11.3% after TotalEnergies SE dropped a bombshell announcement saying it would refrain from making any new financial contributions to its partnership with Adani. This halt comes amid growing concerns over the bribery allegations, leading many to question the future of their collaboration. It seems that TotalEnergies is staying on the cautionary side, awaiting further clarity on the situation, reflecting the fears investors have surrounding legal implications.
But it doesn't stop there! Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have been on a selling spree, withdrawing a massive ₹1.14 lakh crore in October alone, and they haven’t stopped yet, pulling out another ₹42000 crore in November. The highlighted concerns surrounding Adani Group and the recent allegations raise serious worries about the stability of market investments. Meanwhile, the Indian parliament wasn’t spared from the ruckus, as lawmakers faced off over these allegations, leading to a standstill in discussions, showcasing the political implications of the business scandal.
So, can Adani make a recovery? The answer isn’t clear, and while many investors and interested parties are keeping a close watch, the case raises significant questions regarding the extraterritorial application of American laws in Indian business. One interesting fact to note is the effect of such allegations on global partnerships; just last month, TotalEnergies was among Adani's major backers. In addition, this scandal serves as a reminder of the intricate web of relationships in the global economy – where a single bribery case could ripple through markets worldwide! Buckle up, folks, this financial rollercoaster has just begun!
