NEW DELHI/PARIS (Reuters) - French oil major TotalEnergies halted on Monday investments into Adani Group, after the Indian ports-to-power conglomerate was engulfed in a crisis over an alleged multi-million-dollar bribery scheme.
The move is the first major fallout from U.S. authorities' decision to charge Adani's billionaire chairman Gautam Adani and seven other people with agreeing to pay around $265 million in bribes to Indian government officials.
