Gautam Adani Thanks Supporters After US Court Dismisses Charges
Gautam Adani is a very important businessman in India who runs a big company called the Adani Group.
Some people in America said he did something wrong with money rules.
A court in America looked at the case and decided to drop all the criminal charges against him and two other people from his company.
The judge who made this decision is named Nicholas Garaufis.
The court also made a separate deal with another American office called the SEC, where Adani's side will pay $18 million to settle civil charges.
Mr Adani said he is happy and thanked everyone who believed in him during the hard time.
He also said he took blessings from God and his parents.
A government office had earlier said that no investors lost any money in this case.
Mr Adani says he will keep working to build things for his country, India.
A US court dismissed all criminal charges against Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and associate Vneet Jaain in a securities and wire fraud case.
Judge Nicholas Garaufis of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York dismissed all criminal charges against the Adani Group officials.
The Adanis separately finalized a settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), paying the US government $18 million to settle civil securities fraud charges.
