The agreement has been submitted to a federal judge in Manhattan for approval, according to a document filed Monday. In June 2020, a group of shareholders, including Sweden's Handelsbanken Fonder AB and the Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension & Relief Fund, launched a class action against the San Francisco-headquartered bank. Their lawsuit accused Wells Fargo of shortcomings in strengthening its risk control and compliance following commitments made to regulators in 2018.
