Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay $36.3 million to settle allegations it misused confidential regulatory materials leaked from the Federal Reserve, the latest twist in a lengthy investigation.

The Fed unveiled the civil settlement Wednesday and brought new allegations that an executive at the bank had run a long campaign to obtain regulatory secrets and make use of them inside the bank from 2012 to September 2014, well before the leak that sparked the investigation occurred.
