A former FBI agent will oversee the Deepwater Horizon Court-Supervised Settlement Program, which is responsible for paying out billions of dollars in private claims following the 2010 BP oil spill the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
That job goes to David Welker, who served as special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans office until he retired in April 2012.
Before the promotion, Welker was the claims program’s director of fraud, waste and abuse, a position he had held since June 2012.
