It is now up to the Justice Department to weigh whether to file charges against the aircraft maker.

The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, prosecutors told a federal judge on Tuesday.

Boeing failed to make changes to prevent it from violating federal anti-fraud laws — a condition of the 2021 settlement, Glenn Leon, the head of the fraud section of the Justice Department's criminal division said in a letter. "The Government is determining how it will proceed in this matter," the Justice Department said in the court filing.

The Justice Department investigated Boeing and settled the case in January 2021. After secret negotiations, the government agreed not to prosecute Boeing on a charge of defrauding the United States by deceiving regulators who approved the plane.
