The Justice Department fired Andrew Tyler, an acting assistant chief in its fraud section, after he withdrew from the criminal case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani shortly after senior officials moved to dismiss the charges. Sources told CBS News that Tyler was removed over alleged ethical violations, without providing further details. Adani and executives at his renewable energy company were indicted near the end of the Biden administration over an alleged foreign bribery and securities fraud scheme involving Indian officials and solar-energy contracts. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter ordered the case dismissed in May after Adani’s lawyers presented arguments challenging the evidence and said Adani was willing to invest $10 billion in the U.S. economy. Tyler and co-counsel Shy Jackson then sought to withdraw. Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis initially rejected the dismissal request, later dropped charges against Adani and several co-defendants, but kept charges against other defendants in place while criticizing McCotter’s handling of the case. Tyler is the second federal prosecutor fired this month amid disputes with senior Justice Department officials over a high-profile criminal investigation.
