The U.S. Department of Justice says it is backing the dismissal of criminal charges against Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani, arguing that the case should not have been brought in the first place. In its explanation, the Justice Department says the “substantially weakened” prosecution—along with questions about legal and jurisdictional issues—supports dropping the charges rather than pursuing them. The department also contends that investors did not suffer losses tied to the alleged conduct, framing the lack of financial harm as a key factor in its decision. The Justice Department’s position, as described by the outlets, is that the legal basis for the prosecution is flawed and that continuing the case would not be appropriate given these concerns. While the details of the original allegations are not fully set out in the provided excerpts, both sources emphasize the department’s defense of the dismissal as based on the strength of the evidence and the court-facing viability of the prosecution, including jurisdictional and legal shortcomings.
