New Delhi:Billionaire Gautam Adani will file this week a sworn affidavit in a US federal court stating whether he is aware of any promise, agreement or benefit linked to the US government’s decision to dismiss a criminal indictment against him.

US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis directed Adani to file the affidavit by July 15 before ruling on the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the indictment with prejudice.

The judge asked Adani to state whether he is aware of any promise, offer, agreement or benefit connected to the dismissal, or of any exchange made in return for the charges being dropped.

Sources said Adani is likely to file the affidavit this week.
