Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his company were ordered on Thursday to pay an extra 473 million dollars (€469.5 million) to victims’ families and an FBI agent for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax, adding to a nearly one billion dollar jury verdict issued last month.

Judge Barbara Bellis, in the state of Connecticut, imposed the punitive damages on the Infowars host and Free Speech Systems.
