An Incredible Story with Boeing:
It was revealed this weekend, that the US Department of Justice will not press criminal charges against Boeing for failing to comply with a monitoring agreement.
In May, prosecutors stated that Boeing had not established a program to detect and prevent violations, as required by a 2021 agreement, which put the manufacturer at risk of criminal prosecution.
The agreement was related to two crashes of the 737 Max 8 model in 2018 and 2019, which claimed around a thousand lives.
The Department of Justice is considering alternative responses to the company's inaction, (NOW READ IT CAREFULY) such as a commitment and control agreement.
In other words, Boeing did not give a shit about the previous agreement, but it will definitely follow the new one! Of course, the US Department of Justice stated that a criminal case against Boeing would be "risky," as it could potentially bankrupt the manufacturer. Yeah, sure, especially given all their recent problems... Why did those two guys die, again?
And here's the latest twist: even the prosecutors were shocked by the decision to drop the criminal charges. They sent an official recommendation for criminal prosecution of the corporation to the US Department of Justice.
According to Reuters, Boeing does not intend to admit any violations to avoid losing contracts with the US government (read: officials are afraid of losing kickbacks).
To illustrate the absurdity of the situation: Boeing denied compensation to the relatives of the 350 victims for the suffering experienced by their loved ones before they died.
