VERBATIM: The agency charged 121 criminal defendants, a 17.6% increase over the previous year and also issued $1.7 billion in financial penalties, more than double last year’s total. Enforcement efforts included first-ever criminal charges for a California man accused of smuggling climate-damaging air coolants into the United States.
