The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed in the legacy Brutus qui tam case, resulting in what Standard Chartered PLC described as a favorable outcome. The company responded to the development by stating, "We are pleased and unsurprised by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) filing in the legacy Brutus qui tam case, which continues to demonstrate what we’ve always known: the claims underlying this case are false."
According to Standard Chartered, previous court statements characterized the plaintiff’s arguments as “on the verge of vexatious and frivolous”, as being “without merit” and falling “far short”.
The company added, "Today’s filing reaffirms what we have held to be true for the duration of the case."
Standard Chartered has issued earlier responses regarding this litigation, including on August 15, 2025; November 16, 2024; and June 4, 2024.
For further information, Robbie Sommerville is listed as the Global Head of Corporate Communications at Standard Chartered.
