WILMINGTON, Delaware, July 17 (Reuters) - A lawyer for Meta Platforms (META.O) shareholders who were suing Mark Zuckerberg and other company leaders told a Delaware judge on Thursday that the parties had reached a settlement agreement, ending a $8 billion trial over Facebook’s user privacy violations.

The case is expected to run through late next week and include testimony from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and former COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Investors allege in their lawsuit that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users’ personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump’s successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.
