ANZ Bank,Settlement,Court Claim

Leaked settlement deeds reveal ANZ bank's efforts to end a high-profile court claim with Perth entrepreneurs Pankaj and Radhika Oswal. The settlement involved a payment of $169 million and assistance with outstanding taxes. The dispute had lasted for years and involved billions of dollars. The Oswals have since acquired a new home in Switzerland.

Leaked settlement deeds reveal just how far ANZ bank had to go to end one of Australia’s most high-profile court claim s stemming from a spectacular corporate receivership. High-profile Perth entrepreneurs Pankaj and Radhika Oswal extracted $169 million from ANZ in the 2016 settlement, according to documents leaked from Cypriot firms, which also reveal the bank helped pay their outstanding taxes. It ended a legal dispute that had dragged on for years and run into billions of dollars.

The ANZ payments also helped generate a new start for the Oswals, who had been forced to abandon their unfinished $70 million Perth mansion that had been dubbed “Taj on Swan”. They have since gone on to acquire a home in Switzerland that enthusiastic Indian media articles say is worth at least $US200 million ($314 million). The Oswals were entrepreneurs behind an ammonia plant, touted as the world’s largest, on WA’s Burrup Peninsul
