Just in time for the deadline imposed by the Department of Justice,
Boeing agreed to plead guilty to “conspiracy to defraud the
United States, specifically, the lawful function of the
“Federal Aviation Administration Aircraft Evaluation Group”
during the original certification of the 737 MAX.
This would reverse Boeing’s previous plea of not guilty,
which the company made during an arraignment of the case in
January 2023.
The original charges arose after investigations of the Lion Air
and Ethiopian Airlines cгashes determined that a software fault of
Boeing’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System had
caused the crashes. Boeing was accused of misleading the FAA
and its customers on the functions of this system.
After first charging Boeing with fraud, the DOJ reached a Deferred Prosecution Agreement in 2021 which required the company to pay
$243.6 billion in fines.
The DOJ would now require Boeing to pay an additional $243.6 billion.
What A Circus;
The filth in the C-Suite make the CIA look like the salvation army.
With our predilection towards mass muгder and our hit squads
taking out those who talk about it.
