Aerospace giant Boeing agreed to pay $8.1 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) addressing allegations it submitted false claims regarding military aircraft contracts it had with the Navy.
The case was brought under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, with the three whistleblowers that came forward receiving a total of more than $1.5 million, the DOJ announced in a press release Thursday.
Of the settlement total, approximately $1.9 million is restitution and about $1.1 million will cover attorneys’ fees, according to the settlement agreement.
