(Reuters) – The Justice Department said Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and pay a fine of $243.6 million after the Justice Department said the planemaker had breached a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, according to a court filing.
The planemaker on July 7 had agreed in principle to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration after the government said the planemaker knowingly made false representations about key software for the 737 MAX.
The Justice Department said Boeing and the government had finalized the details of the plea deal.
