For the second time in less than a month, the Justice Department on Wednesday abruptly dropped charges against a client represented by Brad Bondi, the brother of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Federal prosecutors in Missouri this week agreed to voluntarily dismiss an indictment against Sid Chakraverty, a property developer who faced felony wire fraud charges. Prosecutors under the Biden administration accused Chakraverty in 2024 of lying about hiring women- and minority-owned subcontractors on a housing development in order to allegedly secure favorable tax incentives.
As recently as three weeks ago, career prosecutors held that Chakraverty should face criminal penalties for his alleged scheme.
Brad Bondi officially joined on as Chakraverty's attorney in July 2025, according to the court docket.
The development comes just weeks after federal prosecutors in Florida agreed to drop charges against Carolina Amesty, another client of Brad Bondi, who faced two counts of theft of government property related to alleged COVID relief fraud.
Amesty had hired Brad Bondi in December 2024, shortly after his sister, Pam Bondi, was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as attorney general.
