Judge Dismisses Fraud Charges Against Gautam Adani, Critiques Justice Department's Handling of Case

The judge criticized the Justice Department's handling of the case, particularly the collaboration between Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter and Adani's defense team without consulting investigators.
Garaufis noted that while the dismissal should not be seen as an endorsement of the Justice Department's decision, he found the process to be highly irregular.
