Boeing has reached a preliminary non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in a fraud case related to two deadly 737 MAX crashes that claimed many lives, sources familiar with the matter said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement would prevent a trial scheduled for June against the aircraft manufacturer, accused of misleading U.S. regulators about a key flight control system on the 737 MAX plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal would allow Boeing to avoid pleading guilty to a crime, which would be a blow to the families of the victims who sought to hold the company accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A guilty plea could have also complicated Boeing\u2019s ability to secure important government contracts, including with the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA, though the company could seek waivers from such obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing did not provide comments, and the Department of Justice declined to comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud after two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 and to pay a substantial fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Boeing later withdrew the guilty plea, prosecutors told families of the victims during a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s position changed after a judge rejected the preliminary guilty plea agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Department of Justice is still considering whether to proceed with the non-prosecution agreement or take Boeing to court. A final decision has not been made, and the terms of the deal are not finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the meeting, a prosecutor said that after the judge\u2019s rejection and due to risks of negative outcomes from continuing the trial, Boeing decided to take the case to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the judge who rejected the deal called Boeing\u2019s crime one of the deadliest corporate crimes in U.S. history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing has faced increased scrutiny from the Federal Aviation Administration following recent issues with the new MAX 9 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Boeing\u2019s CEO and the U.S. President announced a major aircraft deal with Qatar Airways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current discussions stem from decisions made by the Department of Justice during previous administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, officials found Boeing violated the terms of a previous agreement made in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4569,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBoeing will avoid court provided additional payments are made to families of those killed in 737 MAX crashes - Synemic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/synemic.net\/?post_type=news&p=4567\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Boeing will avoid court provided additional payments are made to families of those killed in 737 MAX crashes - Synemic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Boeing has reached a preliminary non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in a fraud case related to two deadly 737 MAX crashes that claimed many lives, sources familiar with the matter said.
