Boeing has agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle a Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal investigation into circumstances surrounding the certification of the 737 Max.
The US government launched the investigation in the wake of two Max crashes that killed 346 people. The DOJ charged Boeing with one count of conspiracy to defraud the USA.
Boeing’s agreement with the DOJ, disclosed on 7 January, “resolves the department’s investigation into the company relating to the evaluation of the Boeing 737 Max airplane by the Federal Aviation Administration,” Boeing says.
