Swiss court ruling an indictment of SEBI, Indian courts in Adani affair

A Swiss Federal Criminal Court ruling is seen as an indictment of SEBI and Indian courts in the Adani affair. The verdict is based on an appeal to unfreeze an entity’s bank accounts, which indirectly weighed on allegations that the Adani group’s promoters had sold/bought more shares than legally permissible, to inflate share prices. The alleged proxy is Sanilion, linked to Chang Chung-Ling. The court documents reference money laundering and embezzlement suspicions.

The Adi group’s businesses range from coal and commodity trading to real estate development. Its founder, Utkarsh Shah, is described as a friend of Adani group chairman Gautam Adani for over 30 years.

Howe Engineering Projects’ parent firms are described as Adani group entities on an affiliate’s website, and there are multiple trails of evidence linking Howe to the conglomerate owned by Gautam Adani’s brother Vinod Adani and associate Chang Chien-Ting.
