Sanjeev Gupta, a prominent steel magnate, is facing criminal charges alongside four other executives for failing to file accounts for over 70 listed companies, as confirmed by the U.K. corporate registry. In a separate legal matter, a London judge ruled that Sibanye Stillwater unlawfully terminated a $1 billion deal with Appian Capital Advisory for two Brazilian mines, leading to an order for Sibanye to pay damages amounting to $1.2 billion. This ruling highlights ongoing accountability issues within corporate governance, as evidenced by other cases involving Barclays and Bayer.
