The company would avoid prosecution in the Doj agreement

The Ministry of Justice and Boeing are close to an agreement that would allow the aerospace giant to avoid pleading guilty or a trial in a criminal case linked to two fatal accidents of his maximum passenger plane of 737, a person familiar with the case said on Friday.

Boeing agreed to plead guilty in the case last summer in an agreement with the Ministry of Justice after the Biden administration concluded earlier this year that the company had raped an agreement in 2021 linked to accidents. A judge rejected this advocacy agreement last year, invoking concerns about diversity, equity and inclusion, and opened the possibility that Boeing could be judged.

The fraud costs arise from the development by Boeing of the 737 Max. The United States had accused Boeing of deceptive regulators on its inclusion of a maximum flight control system that was later involved in both accidents.

A final agreement to the early time has not yet been concluded, said that the person, who was expressed under the guise of anonymity, to discuss the negotiations in progress. The Ministry of Justice and Boeing did not immediately comment.

Under the new agreement, Boeing could pay family members of the victims of the two maximum accidents. In total, the two successful Boeing Jet accidents killed the 346 people on aircraft.

The new provisional agreement, which was reported earlier Friday by Reuters, would mean that Boeing would not be called a criminal. This label could have been accompanied by restrictions on the work of defense entrepreneurs.

Boeing is the largest exporter in the country and, in addition to making commercial lines, he is an important defense entrepreneur. The Trump administration recently awarded the company a contract of several billion dollars to build a new generation fighter.
