作者：Katharine Gemmell 与 Chris Dolmetsch一份美国法院文件显示，一家美国基金已在瑞士提起刑事诉讼，指控Radiant World及相关公司欺诈和洗钱，这为这家铁矿石交易商不断升级的法律和财务危机又增添了一个司法管辖区。
By Katharine Gemmell and Chris Dolmetsch A US fund has filed a criminal complaint in Switzerland accusing Radiant World and related companies of fraud and money laundering, according to a US court filing, adding a new jurisdiction to the iron ore trader’s escalating legal and financial crisis.
该诉讼在Mariner Atlantic Multi-Strategy LLC提交的申请中被提及，该公司由投资公司Mariner Investment Group管理。Mariner正寻求从纽约联邦储备银行和清算所银行间支付系统获取文件，以用于瑞士的诉讼程序。
The complaint was described in an application filed by Mariner Atlantic Multi-Strategy LLC, which is managed by investment firm Mariner Investment Group. Mariner is seeking documents from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Clearing House Interbank Payments System for use in the Swiss proceedings.
在美国法院文件中，Mariner的律师表示，该公司与Radiant World签订了协议，根据协议提供了两笔总额为5000万美元的循环信贷额度，用于为某些金属交易提供融资。
In the US court papers, lawyers for Mariner said the firm entered into agreements with Radiant World under which it provided two revolving credit facilities totaling $50 million to finance certain metals trades.
Mariner在9月29日的文件中表示：“然而，在资金发放后，Mariner了解到Radiant系统性地伪造商业文件，以模拟交易，从而通过虚构交易从包括Mariner在内的国际贷款机构获得融资。”
“However, after the funds were released, Mariner learned that Radiant systematically had falsified commercial documents in order to simulate transactions and thereby obtain financing from international lenders, including Mariner, through fictitious trades,” Mariner said in the Sept. 29 filing.
Mariner表示，其一直无法追回向Radiant转移的任何资金，目前正根据法院文件寻求与Radiant集团实体相关的电汇和支付信息记录。
Mariner said it has been unable to recover any of the money it transferred to Radiant, and is now seeking wire transfer and payment message records relating to Radiant group entities, according to the court papers.
这份瑞士诉讼于9月14日提交给日内瓦公共检察官办公室，还将Sapphire Minmetals Corporation SA、Radiant World的当地子公司以及Radiant World创始人Pinkesh Nahar列为被告。根据美国文件，Mariner已要求检察官展开刑事调查、搜查日内瓦的办公场所，并查封瑞士的银行账户和其他资产。
The Swiss complaint, which was filed with the Geneva Public Prosecutor’s Office on Sept. 14, also names Sapphire Minmetals Corporation SA, along with Radiant World’s local subsidiary and Radiant World founder Pinkesh Nahar. Mariner has asked prosecutors to open a criminal investigation, conduct searches of the premises in Geneva and seize bank accounts and other assets in Switzerland, according to the US filing.
Radiant World的一位发言人没有立即回应置评请求。该公司已否认存在不当行为。Mariner在美国营业时间后没有立即回应置评请求。
A Radiant World spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The company has denied wrongdoing. Mariner didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment in the US after business hours.
Guillaume Tattevin，Mariner的律师，暂时无法置评。针对该诉状，日内瓦检察官办公室发言人拒绝置评。
Guillaume Tattevin, Mariner’s lawyer, wasn’t immediately available to comment. Asked about the complaint, a spokesman for the Geneva prosecutor’s office declined to comment.
Radiant World正面临从新加坡到伦敦的一连串民事诉讼，债权人指控该公司向银行提供伪造文件以获取融资，同时新加坡警方也在对该公司进行调查。该公司的主要办事处位于新加坡、瑞士和迪拜。
Radiant World is facing a spate of civil lawsuits from Singapore to London over allegations from creditors that it provided banks with falsified documents to secure financing, while Singapore Police are also conducting an investigation into the company. The company’s main offices are located in Singapore, Switzerland and Dubai.
上周，新加坡法院指派毕马威重组高管接管Radiant World的运营，批准了债权人瑞穗银行的申请，后者指控该贸易商涉嫌欺诈。
Last week, a Singapore court appointed KPMG restructuring executives to take charge of Radiant World’s operations, granting an application by creditor Mizuho Bank Ltd., which has accused the trader of fraud.
