PARIS (Reuters) - French oil major TotalEnergies SE was not informed of a U.S. investigation into possible bribery and corruption at Adani Green Energy Limited, it said on Monday, adding it will stop financial contributions to its Adani Group investments following last week's indictment.

TotalEnergies will pause investment in its Adani Green energy project until there is further clarity on a U.S. bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, the French group's CEO, Patrick Pouyanne,

Internationally, the crisis has led to significant setbacks for Adani’s global operations. Kenyan President William Ruto recently canceled a procurement process that was set to award control of Kenya’s main airport to Adani, while a committee in Bangladesh has called for a thorough legal review of Adani’s power generation contracts in the country.
