Boeing reaches $2.5bn settlement with US Justice Department to end criminal investigation into 737 MAX crashes:

The 737 MAX returned to service in the US in December 2020. Boeing has agreed to pay $2.5 billion (about £1.8 billion) to settle the Justice Department's criminal investigation and admitted that the company's employees deceived aviation regulators regarding the safety of the 737 MAX aircraft.
