NEW YORK (Reuters) – Citigroup Inc has settled long-running litigation in which Allied Irish Banks Plc accused it of helping rogue currency trader John Rusnak rack up a $691 million loss.

An order announcing the dismissal of the 12-1/2-year-old case was filed on Thursday with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

The dismissal averts a trial that had been scheduled to begin on Jan. 25. Citigroup also resolved related claims against Buffalo, New York-based M&T Bank Corp .
