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 investigations by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) into transactions by Adani Group entities have been marred by controversy, raising questions about its ability to handle the high-stakes probe with transparency and efficiency. The Supreme Court of India stipulated a deadline of 2 May 2023 for SEBI to conclude its investigation. However, in May, in response to applications by SEBI, the court extended that deadline to 14 August 2023. SEBI’s floundering has brought the regulator under increased scrutiny.
