Criminal Charges Recommended Against Boeing – Reports

US prosecutors have recommended that the Justice Department (DOJ) should bring criminal charges against Boeing, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS.

It comes after the DOJ said the plane maker had violated a settlement related to two fatal crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, which the firm denied.

Boeing declined to comment when contacted by the BBC about the prosecutors’ recommendation.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a BBC request for comment.

The recommendation is not a final decision and the details of any potential criminal action were not known, CBS said.

News of the recommended charges was first reported by the Reuters news agency. The DOJ has until 7 July to make a final decision on whether to prosecute Boeing
