Investors who bought shares in the Commonwealth Bank of Australia between 17 August 2015 and 3 August 2017 will be eligible to participate in a proposed class action over the bank’s money-laundering scandal. CBA’s share price has fallen by six per cent since Austrac filed legal action on 3 August, slashing the bank’s market capitalisation by around $A8bn. Maurice Blackburn’s class action is expected to focus on CBA’s disclosures regarding Austrac’s investigation into the money-laundering allegations.
