Acting Associate Attorney General Tony West speaks at a news conference to announce new criminal charges and a settlement in the case against British oil company BP Plc for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in New Orleans November 15, 2012.

The settlement includes a $1.256 billion criminal fine, the largest such levy in U.S. history, the oil company said on Thursday.
