Irrespective of the status of judicial proceedings in the US, domestic regulators/ investigating agencies are obligated to get details from their US counterparts, investigaste and prosecute bribe givers and bribe takers- Why is the government dragging its feet? From the website of US SEC (https://www.sec.gov/files/litigation/complaints/2024/comp-pr2024-181.pdf) and the website of the US Justice Department (https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/billionaire-chairman-conglomerate-and-seven-other-senior-business-executives-indicted), the following allegations seem to have been made. The defendants frequently discussed their efforts in furtherance of the Bribery Scheme, including through an electronic messaging application. We have our own investors to worry about, who have put in their hard earned savings in the activities of the Adani companies. Why is the government dragging its feet on instituting a comprehensive judicial enquiry as suggested by me into the multiple undue favours evidently showered on the Adani Group?
