Citigroup Inc. filed a lawsuit Monday against Brigade Capital Management LP, seeking the return of the hedge-fund manager's share of nearly $900 million payment that Citi said it paid by mistake to Revlon Inc. lenders.

Brigade "has unlawfully attempted to capitalize on the mistaken payment, " Citi said in the complaint, filed in New York federal court on Monday. Brigade and other lenders have taken the position that they aren't obligated to return the money, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Revlon has said it didn't pay the money itself. In the lawsuit, Citi said the payment came from the bank's own funds.
