BP Criminal Guilty Plea Fact Sheet - ELI

"The Environmental Law Institute has developed a fact sheet on the plea agreement between BP and the U.S. Department of Justice

On November 15, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an 
agreement with BP to resolve criminal charges against the company related to the Deepwater 
Horizon disaster.
This fact sheet sets out the main terms of the agreement. Keep in mind that:
 This agreement only addresses criminal charges. Civil claims against BP are still pending.
 This agreement only relates to BP. It does not address any other corporations or individuals.
For example, there are still pending charges against BP employees.
 The agreement must be approved by the court before it is finalized. If approved, BP cannot 
face any other criminal charges for conduct related to or arising out of Deepwater Horizon."
