The U.S. Justice Department is considering offering Boeing a deferred prosecution agreement, which might require the company to install a federal monitor to oversee safety improvements
to escape criminal prosecution for violating the terms of a 2021 settlement related to two fatal 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, the New York Times reported on Friday.
Boeing was not immediately available for comment, and a spokesperson for the DOJ declined to comment. Reuters could not independently verify the report.In May, the Justice Department said Boeing had violated a 2021 agreement with prosecutors that shielded it from criminal prosecution over the fatal crashes. The 2021 DPA required the U.S. plane maker to overhaul its compliance practices. Boeing has said it complied with the agreement.
Boeing previously paid $2.5-billion as part of that deal, in which prosecutors agreed not to prosecute the company over a fraud conspiracy charge related to the 737 Max’s flawed design.
