Japan’s Mizuho Bank has filed a case against the Singapore operating entity of iron ore trader Radiant World, one of the world’s largest iron traders, in the city-state’s Supreme Court.
Mizuho Bank, the banking unit of Mizuho Financial Group, is seeking an injunction against Radiant World Corporation, a court listing showed. Reuters could not find any other instance of public legal action by a Radiant World creditor.
Some banks have frozen Radiant World’s accounts and trading houses have severed ties on concerns the commodity trader had supplied invalid invoices to raise financing. Singapore Police confirmed this week that reports were lodged and investigations were ongoing.

The court listing did not provide details of the injunction sought. Radiant World said in a statement in July that the claims were inaccurate and unsubstantiated.
Pinkesh Nahar founded Radiant World in the early 2000s, according to the company’s website, which says it trades more than 80 million metric tons of iron ore annually.
Deutsche Bank and KBC Group NV have frozen some of Radiant World’s Singapore bank accounts, while some other lenders have suspended credit lines, Bloomberg News reported earlier in August.
