NEW YORK: A New York court has ordered that the criminal and civil cases filed against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and others in a bribery scheme are "related" and will be assigned to the judge overseeing the criminal case.
The order available on the court website of the US District Court Eastern District of New York says that "in consultation with District Judge Garaufis, because USA v. Adani et al., 24 Crim. 433 (NGG), Securities and Exchange Commission v. Adani et al., 24 Civ. 8080 (VMS), and Securities and Exchange Commission v. Cabanes, 24 Civ. 8081 (VMS) are based on similar allegations and arise from the same transactions or events."
To promote judicial efficiency and avoid conflicting schedules, all three cases are marked as related. All three actions shall be assigned to the judges assigned to the earliest filed action, which is the criminal action, USA v. Adani et al., 24 Crim. 433 (NGG). Ordered by Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon on 12/12/2024.
