Radiant World sued by Mizuho Bank, Incomlend
Iron ore trader is being investigated over alleged falsified financial documents.
Radiant World, a global leader in iron ore trading, is facing legal action from Mizuho Bank and Incomlend Pte. Ltd. following an investigation into allegedly falsified documents. Mizuho Bank, a subsidiary of Mizuho Financial Group, has filed for an injunction against Radiant World Corporation, while Incomlend Pte. Ltd., an invoice financing platform and creditor of Radiant World, seeks over $34 million from the company and its founder, Pinkesh Nahar, as per a court document filed on August 24, Bloomberg reported.
The case is categorized as a "tort of deceit conspiracy by unlawful means," with a hearing scheduled for September 29. Established by Nahar in the early 2000s, Radiant World was built on a foundation of trust, reliability, and integrity, trading over 80 million metric tons of iron ore annually. In July, trading partners Vitol Group and Cargill ceased operations with Radiant World, and Glencore, with a $500 million exposure, also ceased new business with the company.
The withdrawal of lenders began with Deutsche Bank and KBC Group NV freezing Radiant World's Singapore bank account earlier in the month. Investigations by the Singapore Police, the US Justice Department, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are ongoing.
