Glencore Plc last month tells Mizuho Bank that it believes Radiant World fraudulently generated an email exchange that purportedly shows Glencore planned to repay Mizuho nearly $100 million, according to a court filing obtained by Bloomberg News. The alleged email correspondence is presented as evidence in related proceedings involving Radiant World.
The Japan Times reports that Mizuho outlines details of the email exchange as part of a lawsuit in Singapore. In that case, Mizuho accuses Radiant World of fraud. The two outlets describe the same core claim: that the email documentation provided by Radiant World is not genuine and is being used to support an asserted repayment arrangement. Bloomberg emphasizes Glencore’s communication to Mizuho about the alleged fabrication, while Japan Times focuses on Mizuho’s use of the exchange in the Singapore litigation.
Across the reports, the dispute centers on whether the email trail was fabricated and how it is used within Mizuho’s broader fraud case against Radiant World.
