Allied Irish, Citigroup settle litigation over rogue trader
NEW YORK, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc has settled long-running litigation in which Allied Irish Banks Plc accused it of helping rogue currency trader John Rusnak rack up a $691 million loss.
An order announcing the dismissal of the 12-1/2-year-old case was filed on Thursday with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
The dismissal averts a trial that had been scheduled to begin on Jan. 25. Citigroup also resolved related claims against Buffalo, New York-based M&T Bank Corp.
