The Department of Justice (DOJ) notified aerospace giant Boeing it breached its 2021 deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) that required compliance commitments following high-profile crashes of its 737 MAX airplane.
In a letter Tuesday, the DOJ notified Boeing the government determined the company breached its obligations under the DPA by “failing to design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program to prevent and detect violations of U.S. fraud laws throughout its operations.”
The letter, addressed to U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor for the Northern District of Texas, updated the court on the status of the DPA, which Boeing agreed to in January 2021 as part of a $2.5 billion settlement over criminal charges related to the 737 MAX scandal.
