Boeing broke an agreement over the 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people, and could now be prosecuted, the Justice Department says

• In 2021, Boeing reached a deal with prosecutors after 346 people died in two 737 Max crashes.
• The Justice Department said Tuesday that Boeing violated that deal and is now subject to prosecution.
• It worsens the crisis at the planemaker which began with January's Alaska Airlines blowout.

Boeing could face criminal charges after the Justice Department determined the planemaker violated a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA).
