The photographers who chased Diana the Princess of Wales on the journey in which she died have been fined 68p.

The sum was dished out by a Paris appeals court for invasion of privacy.
...
The appeals court fined them the symbolic 68p, split between the three of them, in a ruling on Friday, with the announcement of the ruling delayed for a few days.
...
Fayed's father, Egyptian-born billionaire Mohammed Al Fayed, filed the invasion of privacy complaint. The 68p will be paid to him.

68p?!!!!!

Erm... that's a lot of money, how do the courts ever expect them to pay?

dont forget its slpit 3 ways..so 22.7p each, making it much more affordable

The symbolism is that the photographers are guilty of something, but that the value of that something is squat.

not squat, lives of 2 people = 68p

People should just let her RIP

its the trial thats dragged on for this long - by a father who also lost his son in an incident that he believes wasnt coincidence. how are you going to tell a parent they should just accept it was an accident?
