San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2019 -- An investor in Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) filed a lawsuit alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws by Energy Transfer LP.

Investors who purchased units of Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

On February 13, 2017, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("PADEP") approved water-crossing and sedimentation permits for the Mariner East 2 pipeline, which would transport natural-gas liquids across Pennsylvania to a terminal in Marcus Hook. According to news sources, the permits were believed to be the final regulatory hurdle to begin construction of the pipeline.

On November 12, 2019, it was reported that that Energy Transfer's Mariner East pipeline project was under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"). Citing interviews with current and former state employees, it was reported that the FBI's investigation "involves the permitting of the pipeline, whether [Pennsylvania Governor Tom] Wolf and his administration forced environmental protection staff to approve construction permits and whether Wolf or his administration received anything in return."

Units of Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) declined to as low as $10.84 per share on November 13, 2019.

The plaintiff claims that between February 25, 2017 and November 11, 2019, the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Energy Transfer's permits to conduct the Mariner East pipeline project in Pennsylvania were secured via bribery and/or other improper conduct, that the foregoing misconduct increased the risk that the Partnership and/or certain of its employees would be subject to government and/or regulatory action; and that as a result, the Partnership's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Those who purchased shares of Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
