The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) informed a federal judge yesterday that it believes Boeing has violated key terms of the $2.5 billion settlement related to the two infamous 737 MAX crashes. In addition to the cash payment, the settlement required the planemaker to “design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program to prevent and detect violations of U.S. fraud laws throughout its operations.” The DOJ told the judge Boeing has failed to meet its obligations and is therefore subject to criminal prosecution.
