The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has accused Boeing of breaching its obligations under a 2021 agreement that forced the manufacturer to “prevent and detect” violations of fraud laws in exchange for being shielded from prosecution over the two accidents, which caused the death of 346 people.
According to multiple media reports, US lawmakers said Boeing failed to “design, implement and enforce a compliance and ethics programme to prevent and detect violations of the US fraud laws throughout its operations”.
