4. BP fined $373m by US government

Source: BBC

The US Department of Justice has fined oil giant BP $373m (£182m), for breaking environmental rules and committing fraud.

The fine includes a $50m fee for a Texas refinery explosion in 2005 that killed 15 people and injured 180 more.

That sum is the highest fine of its kind under the Clean Air Act.

The largest part of the fine relates to a price manipulation scandal from April 2003 to February 2004, over which four ex-BP workers have also been indicted.
