NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Fifth Third Bancorp (NasdaqGS: FITB).

On March 9, 2020, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) filed suit against the Company for violations of various federal consumer protection laws based on allegations of widespread and long-ranging unauthorized customer account openings from 2010 through 2016. Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Fifth Third’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Fifth Third’s shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
