The company called OCCRP allegations \u201crecycled\u201d and \u201c bid by Soros-funded interests supported by a section of the foreign media to revive the meritless Hindenburg report.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, OCCRP alleged that partners of the Adani promoter family invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Adani Group stocks through opaque investment funds based in Mauritius. OCCRP, backed by funding from entities like George Soros and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, report follows previous claims of accounting fraud, stock price manipulation, and misuse of tax havens by the Adani conglomerate.<\/p>\n<p>These allegations, previously leveled by a US short seller Hindenburg, impacted Adani group stocks, causing a loss in value, of around $ 150 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The OCCRP\u2019s investigation, based on files from various tax havens and internal Adani Group emails, identified instances where these mysterious investors engaged in buying and selling Adani stock through offshore structures. Nasser Ali Shaban Ahli and Chang Chung-Ling, both linked to the Adani family and associated with group companies, were highlighted by OCCRP for their involvement. Despite these claims, the Adani group has refuted all allegations of stock manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe categorically reject these recycled allegations. These news reports appear to be yet another concerted bid by Soros-funded interests supported by a section of the foreign media to revive the meritless Hindenburg report. In fact, this was anticipated, as was reported by the media last week,\u201d Adani Group said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese claims are based on closed cases from a decade ago when the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) probed allegations of over invoicing, transfer of funds abroad, related party transactions and investments through FPIs. An independent adjudicating authority and an appellate tribunal had both confirmed that there was no over-valuation and that the transactions were in accordance with applicable law,\u201d the port-to-power conglomerate said, adding that the matter attained finality in March 2023 when the SC ruled on th matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have complete faith in the due process of law and remain confident of the quality of our disclosures and corporate governance standards. In light of these facts, the timing of these news reports is suspicious, mischievous and malicious \u2013 and we reject these reports in their entirety,\u201d they further said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] New Delhi: Adani Group called OCCRP allegation \u201crecycled\u201d and \u201c bid by Soros-funded interests supported by a section of the foreign media to revive the meritless Hindenburg report.\u201d Adani Group \u201ccategorically\u201d denied allegations of accounting fraud, stock price manipulation, and misuse of tax havens leveled by Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-business"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6719,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717\/revisions\/6719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenftimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
