(Reuters) Lawyers for Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC said a federal judge ignored his own deadline by certifying a class-action lawsuit tied to a bribery probe on Wednesday without giving the largest publicly traded U.S. hedge fund company a chance to object.
U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in Manhattan said Och-Ziff shareholders from February 2012 to August 2014 can sue as a group over allegations that the company misled them about U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probes into its investments in Africa.
