Boeing agrees to plead guilty

[Nimitz]

Boeing agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge months after federal prosecutors alleged the planemaker violated a 2021 settlement that shielded it from prosecution.

Under the deal announced late Sunday, Boeing would pay a $243.6 million fine, install an independent compliance monitor for three years and invest at least $455 million in compliance and safety programs. The agreement needs to be approved by a federal judge before taking effect.

In 2021, Boeing reached a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department over charges related to the fatal 737 Max crashes. That agreement included the original $243.6 million criminal fine, compensation to airlines and a $500 million fund for victims’ families. A lawyer for the victims’ family members said he plans to ask the federal judge on the case to reject the deal and set the matter for public trial.

That agreement (2021) included the original $243.6 million criminal fine (in 2024). 这是怎么回事？

If Boeing breaks the 2021 agreements, it will be automatically fined (as it happens) for $243.6 millions.

明白了。
2021 agreement "shielded it from prosecution". 看来它这次认罚，saved 上次的 agreement，避免了被再次起诉。

不知道那个 2021 agreement claimed "$2.5 billion settlement" 有多少是实的，多少虚的。
