That would be more than the full value of the company. Seems a little steep for the first fine.

  €650 million does not seem steep at all for the offence, given the consequences for those involved. It’s not supposed to be a tax, it’s supposed to be a disincentive.

    Exactly. Strict penalties work. Make the death penalty the punishment for every crime and there will be no more crime! Brilliant!

      right!?!? Yeah I take your point. €6.5m still seems too low to me to disincentivize though.
