Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud charge stemming from 737 MAX crashes


The Justice Department said in May that Boeing violated its 2021 settlement by failing to implement a certain compliance program.

Rescuers work at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near Bishoftu, or Debre Zeit, south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Monday, March 11, 2019. Boeing agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge tied to the fatal 737 Max crashes, the Justice Department said Sunday, months after U.S. prosecutors said the aerospace giant violated a 2021 settlement that shielded it from prosecution. Boeing would also have to invest at least $455 million in compliance and safety programs, according to a U.S. prosecutors' court filing late Sunday.
