US insurance giant AIG has agreed to pay out $725m (£473m) in a settlement against a lawsuit brought by three Ohio pension funds.

The payout follows a lawsuit alleging AIG had committed accounting fraud, manipulated stock price and taken part in anti-competitive behaviour between 1999 and 2005.

Court approval is required before the payment can be made.
