The businessman at the center of an alleged $600 million nickel fraud is struggling to pay £330,000 in legal fees, in a sign that his finances are under increasing strain.In December, a judge rejected Gupta’s attempt to lift a court freeze on his assets, saying that he had failed to present convincing evidence that Trafigura staff knew that there was no nickel in the cargoes it was buying. He was ordered to pay £330,000 on account toward Trafigura’s legal costs.
While Trafigura says it paid nearly $600 million to companies linked to Gupta for cargoes that turned out not to contain nickel, it’s far from clear where those funds have gone.
