American International Group has filed suit in Manhattan Federal Court seeking to wrest control of billions of dollars worth of AIG shares held by the Starr International Company, controlled by Maurice Greenberg, the ousted boss of AIG.

The company made no mention of the legal action when it discussed its activities during a conference call yesterday.

AIG's move took the form of a counterclaim to an action brought by the Bermuda-based Starr International, which sued in July to obtain $15 million worth of art hanging in various AIG buildings.
