The U.S. Department of Justice said Boeing violated a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement involving fatal 737 crashes.

In a filing in U.S. federal court in Texas, the DOJ says the agreement protected the aviation manufacturer from criminal charges. The filing says Boeing broke the agreement by “failing to design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program to prevent and detect violations of the U.S. fraud laws throughout its operations,”

Boeing will have 30 days to respond.
