A US judge today rejected a Boeing plea agreement that was opposed by families of crash victims who say the deal would fail to hold Boeing accountable. The judge’s ruling said the US “Government has monitored Boeing for three years now,” and that, if US officials are correct that Boeing violated a previous agreement, “it is fair to say the Government’s attempt to ensure compliance has failed.”
In July 2024, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to a criminal charge and pay $243.6 million for violating a 2021 agreement that was spurred by two Boeing 737 Max crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed a combined 346 people. If a new deal is not reached, Boeing could have to face trial over the charge for conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aircraft Evaluation Group.
In his ruling today, Judge Reed O’Connor in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas objected to the process for selecting an independent monitor to oversee Boeing’s ethics and anti-fraud compliance program.
