The top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn said he had no basis to dispute the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision to abandon its prosecution of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. In a letter to the judge overseeing the case, U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. stated he was not the decisionmaker behind dropping the case and had no basis to believe the reasons advanced by his supervisor were not the real grounds for a dismissal.
