Gautam Adani returns to Ahmedabad after DOJ drops fraud case

Gautam Adani flew from Lesce Airfield in Slovenia to Ahmedabad on June 20, 2026, aboard his Bombardier Global 6500, tail number VT-AGL. The 7-hour 50-minute trip brought him home the same week the U.S. Department of Justice moved to permanently dismiss all criminal fraud charges against him and his nephew Sagar Adani, as reported by Bloomberg and others.

The DOJ asked a Brooklyn federal judge to drop the case with prejudice on May 18, 2026, after the Adani Group pledged $10 billion in U.S. investments and settled related SEC and Treasury probes for a combined $293 million, per Law.com and Open magazine. The charges had alleged a $250 million bribery scheme for Indian solar contracts and sanctions violations tied to Iranian gas purchases.

Adani's recent flight pattern shows a busy June: he visited Geneva, London, and Cairo before stopping in Slovenia, likely for a private stopover. The legal clearance removes an 18-month overhang that had blocked the Adani Group's access to international capital markets, per analysts cited by Open magazine. With the case behind him, Adani returns to a clean slate—and a full throttle ahead.
