Boeing has violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, the Justice Department told a federal judge on Tuesday.
Boeing reached a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department in January 2021 to avoid prosecution on a single charge of fraud misleading regulators who approved the 737 Max.
The determination means that Boeing could be prosecuted for any federal criminal violation of which the United States has knowledge, including the charge of fraud that the company hoped to avoid with the $2.5 billion settlement, the Justice Department said.
