Switzerland & Singapore-Based French Commodities Giant Trafigura Group Reports $577 Million Loss on Nickel Fraud for Containers Found with Missing Nickel, Commenced Legal Actions Against India Businessman Prateek Gupta & Companies Including TMT Metals & UD Trading Group 11th February 2023 | Hong Kong
Switzerland & Singapore-based French commodities giant Trafigura Group has reported a $577 million provisional loss on fraud for containers found with missing nickel valued at around $577 million, and commencing legal actions against India businessman Prateek Gupta & his companies (TMT Metals and related companies to UD Trading Group). Trafigura Statement on 9th Feb 2023: “Trafigura recently discovered a systematic fraud committed by a group of companies connected to and apparently controlled by Mr Prateek Gupta including TMT Metals and companies owned by UD Trading Group. Trafigura has commenced legal proceedings against Mr Gupta and the companies involved. The fraud concerns containerised nickel in transit during 2022 and involved misrepresentation and presentation of a variety of false documentation. The fraud is isolated to one specific line of business. We have seen no evidence to suggest that anyone at Trafigura was involved or complicit in this illegal activity. A thorough review is ongoing. Since late December 2022, a small proportion of the containers purchased from these companies have been inspected as they reached their destination, and were found not to contain nickel. The majority of the shipments remain in transit awaiting further inspection. Nonetheless, the Group recorded a $577 million charge in the first half of 2023 for Trafigura Group Pte Ltd., estimated to be the maximum loss exposure related to this fraud. The Group’s net profits in the first half of its 2023 financial year are expected to exceed first half 2022 net profits, notwithstanding this impairment. The Group remains committed to building its presence in the fast-growing battery metals markets.” Trafigura is one of the world’s leading independent commodity trading and logistics houses, and has been trading with Prateek Gupta companies since 2015.
