The Department of Justice has announced that Boeing, the aerospace giant, has breached the terms of its 2021 agreement aimed at avoiding criminal charges following two fatal crashes involving its 737 Max planes over five years ago. This development comes after a string of safety lapses by the company, leading officials to indicate that Boeing is now at risk of facing criminal prosecution.
The agreement in question was put in place to address the fallout from the tragic crashes of Boeing's 737 Max aircraft in 2018 and 2019, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives. As part of the deal, Boeing had committed to certain conditions to rectify the issues that contributed to the accidents and to enhance its safety protocols.
