The SFO is currently investigating suspected fraud and money laundering by Gupta's GFG Alliance and its arrangements with Greensill Capital.

Officers visited addresses across Britain and requested documents including company balance sheets and annual reports.

The SFO could not provide further comment on the investigation.

But it did confirm that its teams spoke with executives at multiple addresses, who co-operated with the operation.

The finance company was the main lender to GFG's Liberty Steel, which employs 3,000 people in England, Scotland and Wales.
