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.

Judicial rulings stymie probe into Adani over-invoicing allegations

/

Adani Group companies have been accused of over-invoicing coal and power equipment by an Indian government agency and by the Hindenburg report. Over-invoicing is a practice in which the prices of imported goods are jacked up by an intermediary owned by the buyer. The inflated price is passed on to consumers or is subsidised by government, with the buyer able to pocket the difference. A blizzard of litigation has occurred over these allegations in India’s courts. In early 2024, rulings by the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court appear to have shunted any effective investigation of these allegations off into the never-never.

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.

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.
