SGT Capital Accused of Defamation Against Payments Group Holding

The Payments Group Holding (PGH), based in Frankfurt, has alleged that SGT Capital has initiated a covert defamation campaign against them. PGH, a holding company founded in 2012, renamed in 2024, claims multiple instances of slander by SGT Capital and their legal representatives, Willkie Farr Gallagher LLP.

PGH is seeking resolution over a 6.0 million EUR receivable dispute with SGT Group. They report receiving over twenty-five disparaging communications from SGT since late October 2025, targeting PGH's CEO and addressed to significant entities like BaFin and Deutsche Börse.

PGH advises skepticism toward any SGT correspondence and refraining from sharing unauthorized information. The conflict traces back to past incidents, including unauthorized email access granted to SGT representatives.
