Boeing is guilty.

The United States Department of Justice has found that the aerospace giant is guilty of violating the “deferred prosecution agreement” it entered into after two of its 737 Max airplanes crashed in 2018 and 2019, claiming 346 lives.
Boeing’s 2021 leniency deal with the Trump administration let the company escape any criminal prosecution for corporate misconduct that took 346 lives.

In exchange, all Boeing had to do was not commit fraud in the future — including by making sure its plane designs matched the plans it submitted to federal authorities.

But that was more than Boeing could manage, the Department of Justice has concluded. As a result, the DOJ can now revisit the 2018 and 2019 crashes, and bring new charges against the corporation.

Boeing must be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Tell the United States Department of Justice:

The outrageous leniency deal Boeing got from the Trump administration in 2021 has so far allowed the company to escape meaningful accountability for the 2018 and 2019 Boeing 737 Max crashes. But, having found that Boeing violated the terms of that deal, you can now revisit what charges should have been filed in the first place — informed by the fact that Boeing failed to address its corporate culture issues around safety. If the facts and law support it, the DOJ should now file multiple counts against Boeing, including manslaughter charges.
