Breon Peace, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, is spearheading a criminal bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. The allegations accuse Adani and his associates of a global corruption scheme that has drawn international attention.
Peace, appointed by President Joe Biden in 2021, is renowned for tackling significant cases, including subway shooter Frank James and election interference suspect Douglass Mackey. His office is working with the Department of Justice and the FBI to uncover the truth behind the Adani case, which involves securities fraud and foreign corruption.
The investigation puts Adani’s global business empire under scrutiny, with prosecutors Sarah M. Evans, Matthew R. Galeotti, and Jessica K. Weigel leading the courtroom battle. Peace’s commitment to fighting corruption strengthens the Eastern District’s reputation as a leader in international legal enforcement.
