Daimler will pay $2.2 billion to settle it's US diesel emissions cheating scandal
Quote:
Daimler said that $1.5 billion would be spent on settlements with federal and state agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, U.S. Department of Justice, the California Attorney General’s Office, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A further $700 million would be spent to settle a class-action lawsuit against it, including attorneys’ fees.
The settlements are subject to the final approval of the relevant authorities and courts. The agreement in principle with the U.S. government authorities will be memorialized in binding consent decrees. In the coming weeks, the authorities will then lodge the consent decrees with a U.S. District Court for ultimate approval. The U.S. consumer class action settlement will be submitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for approval.

I hope it was worth the dozen or so diesel cars they sold in the USA every year post 2010.
