The US government has begun criminal and civil investigations into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Attorney General Eric Holder has announced.

He would not say which companies or individuals were being targeted.

Earlier, BP launched a new attempt to try to contain the spill from its well using undersea robots to cut off the fractured pipe and seal it with a cap.

BP said the spill - the largest in US history - might be capped within 24 hours, but success was not guaranteed. - bbc

This CI is long overdue.  BP and other firms were given the license ( there are already 20 approved ones) during the time of Bush, Cheney and co. Lots of money was poured to the commission in-charge of releasing the papers that allows multinational establishments to explore oil.
With this in mind it will be quite interesting how this criminal investigation progress.
