The lawsuit asserts violations of the federal securities laws against Och-Ziff and its officers and directors for issuing false and misleading statements about the Company's financial condition.
Specifically, the lawsuit claims that (a) the Company violated relevant anti-bribery laws by accepting an investment from the Libyan Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund; (b) the Company loaned $234 million to help finance two ventures in the Democratic Republic of Congo in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"); and (c) beginning in 2011, the Company received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice in connection with the transactions mentioned above. According to the suit, when these adverse facts entered the public domain, the price of Och-Ziff securities dropped damaging investors.
