Countrywide's Former Chief in Settlement of Fraud Case

Lawyers have told that Angelo Mozilo,
the co-founder of Countrywide Financial Corporation, and two
other defendants have reached an agreement with federal
regulators to settle civil fraud and insider trading charges.

The settlement was announced at a hearing on Friday in
federal court in Los Angeles.



Countrywide was a major player in the market for high-risk
subprime mortgages that helped touch off the financial
crisis.
