(Reuters) Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (OZM.N) has reached a $28.75 million class-action settlement with shareholders who said the company misled them about U.S. probes into its involvement in alleged bribery in five African countries. The settlement with one of the largest publicly-traded hedge fund companies was made public on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan and requires court approval. It followed Och-Ziff’s $412 million settlement in Sept. 2016 of a U.S. Department of Justice criminal probe, and came 18 days after U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken said the investors could sue the New York-based company as a group.
