FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda US federal prosecutors brought the first criminal charges on Tuesday over the oil spill, accusing Kurt Mix of deleting over 300 text messages that showed the blown-out well was ejecting far more crude than the BP was telling the people at the time, the Associated Press reported.
More than two years after the drilling-rig explosion that ignited the worst offshore oil spill in the American history, the 50-year-old was arrested for destroying evidence in the disaster of Deepwater Horizon, a BP subsidiary that ran the rig, which killed eleven workers.
The incident also leaked over 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Mix’s attorney termed the charges as misguided and expressed confidence that he will be cleared.
“The government says he intentionally deleted text messages from his phone, but the content of those messages still resides in thousands of emails, text messages and other documents that he saved,” said the lawyer, adding, “Indeed, the emails that Kurt preserved include the very ones highlighted by the government.”
BP has recently finalized a 7.8 billion-dollar settlement with over 100,000 businesses and individuals harmed by the spill. Analysts say the amount is significantly less than expected. The company is still drilling five rigs in the Gulf.
