Boeing agrees to pay $2.5B+ to settle criminal fraud charges over 737 Max
Boeing has agreed with the U.S. government to pay just over $2.5 billion to defer prosecution and resolve a charge of “criminal misconduct” in its certification of the 737 Max, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.
Of that amount, only $243.6 million, less than 10%, is a fine for the criminal conduct, “which reflects a fine at the low end” of the sentencing guidelines, the court agreement states.

Boeing has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement to settle criminal charges for impeding the investigation into the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Boeing agreed to pay more than $2.5 billion to settle a criminal charge related to a conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration s Aircraft Evaluation Group.
Federal prosecutors accused Boeing of deceiving the FAA about an important aircraft part called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that impacted the flight control system of the Boeing 737 MAX. The MCAS system was found to be at fault for both crashes. Today s deferred prosecution agreement holds Boeing and its employees accountable for their lack of candor with the FAA regarding MCAS, said Special Agent in Charge
