While the recommendation to the Department of Justice’s senior leadership is not a final decision, it is the latest development in the ongoing back-and-forth over Boeing’s alleged violation of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement. The exact nature of the newly recommended charges was not immediately clear.

News of the recommended charges was first reported by Reuters.

The Justice Department earlier this year found Boeing had violated the deferred prosecution agreement and indicated in court filings it might proceed with charges against the company for conduct tied to two deadly 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 and beyond.

The Justice Department has until July 7 to notify the federal court of its plans.
