VW must pay a $2.8 billion criminal fine for cheating on diesel-car emissions.
U.S. District Judge Sean Cox also accepted the $4.3 billion agreement reached in January between VW and the U.S. government. That figure is less than the maximum allowed ($17 billion to $34 billion), because VW cooperated with U.S. regulators after it was charged with wrongdoing.
Cox overruled objections from lawyers representing consumers who wanted to pursue criminal restitution claiming current civil settlements with VW were enough.
