Negotiated by

"For the EU, this means deals are negotiated by by Brussels, although individual member state governments agree the mandate and approve the final deal."

(The Guardian.)

Is one "by" redundant or is "by" in "negotiated by" an adverb and a preposition in "by Brussels" in the sentence above?

It's a mistake. There should only be one "by" in that.
