April 28, 2009 - An investor in shares of the Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund (MUTF: OPATX) (MUTF: OPABX) (MUTF: OPACX) has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Oppenheimer Funds Inc over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws between November 28, 2005 and November 28, 2008.
According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that Oppenheimer Funds Inc and certain of its trustees violated the Securities Act of 1933 by issuing prospectuses which misled investors concerning the risks of investing in the Oppenheimer AMT-FREE Municipals Fund. These undisclosed risks are alleged to have been the cause of a severe decline in the value of the Oppenheimer AMT-FREE Municipals Fund's shares, far exceeding the decline of competing municipal bond funds.
