Boeing charged for criminal conspiracy, agrees to pay USD 2.5 million in compensation ANI | Updated: Jan 08, 2021 04:34 IST
Washington [US], January 8 (ANI): The Boeing Company on Thursday (local time) agreed to pay over USD 2.5 million to resolve a criminal charge with the US Department of Justice after being accused of concealing information on two Boeing 737 MAX crashes that resulted in the deaths of 346 passengers.
According to a press release, Boeing entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in connection with a criminal information filed on Thursday. The criminal information detailed a conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration s Aircraft Evaluation Group (FAA AEG) in connection with the FAA AEG s evaluation of Boeing s 737 MAX airplane.
The Department of Justice has fined Boeing for defrauding the Federal Aviation Administration in connection with the company s 737 Max, just days the aircraft made its return to U.S. skies and was grounded for more than 20 months by the FAA.
Boeing has agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle a federal criminal charge for defrauding the FAA s evaluation group on the safety of the 737 Max, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.
The 737 Max suffered two deadly crashes that killed a total of 346 people.
In October 2018, Lion Air operated a 737 Max that plunged into the Java Sea minutes after takeoff in Indonesia, killing all 189 aboard. Five months later, as concerns over its Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) were voiced, an Ethiopian Airlines jet with 157 passengers and crew crashed six minutes into its flight from Addis Ababa.
