Indian multibillionaire Gautam Adani, owner of the Adani Group corporate conglomerate and one of the richest men in the world, has found himself at the centre of a scandal. The Adani Group's capitalisation plummeted by more than $50 billion in just a few days, due to the report of a two-year investigation that revealed that the businessman's family controlled offshore shell companies in the Caribbean, Mauritius and the UAE - all to facilitate corruption, money laundering and fundraising. This is the biggest corporate fraud in history.
