Britain's Serious Fraud Office on Friday launched a probe into steelmaker GFG Alliance, focusing partly on links with its collapsed financier Greensill.
GFG Alliance, owned by Indian-British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta, had been Greensill's biggest customer at the time of the finance giant's notorious collapse.
GFG said it would cooperate fully with the investigation.
Greensill's spectacular implosion threatens 50,000 jobs at companies around the world that relied on its financing for their supply chains, including GFG.
