LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Serious Fraud Office has settled a lawsuit brought by Kazakh mining group ENRC, which accused the agency of leaking information about a corruption probe to journalists.

ENRC sued the SFO, the agency's former case controller for the ENRC probe and a former employee over alleged leaks during a decade-long criminal investigation into alleged bribery by the former FTSE 100 company. The SFO had denied the claims.
