Լ����Ƶ President and CEO released the following statement upon news today that BP has settled criminal charges arising from the 2010 gulf oil disaster with the Department of Justice for $4.5 billion.

“This settlement matches the unprecedented offense BP committed,” said Լ����Ƶ President and CEO David Yarnold. “But they still have to make amends for the environmental damage their crimes caused. And the Department of Justice drove a fair settlement, but BP needs to compensate the Gulf Coast in the form of civil damages. The rule has to be: You break it, you buy it.”
