Summary · why it matters
Singapore police have opened an investigation into iron ore trader Radiant. The nature of the report and the timing of the probe are not clear at this stage. Radiant has come under mounting pressure, with Vitol Group and Cargill halting dealings amid concerns over suspected document forgery, and creditors reviewing their exposure. According to people familiar with the matter, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission are also examining transactions involving the company and its creditors. Radiant has not been accused of wrongdoing and told Bloomberg last week it was not aware of any U.S. investigation.
