The US Treasury has sold its remaining stake in Citigroup, in a deal which it says will make a $12bn (£7.6bn) profit on its overall investment.
Citigroup was one of the worst victims of the financial crisis, and the US government stepped in with $45bn of bail-out cash in 2008 and 2009.
The money was part of the $700bn Troubled Asset Relief Program (Tarp).
