San Francisco: The US Justice Department on Tuesday said Boeing can be prosecuted for two subsequent 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people approximately five years ago.
Boeing breached obligations under an agreement that had shielded it against legal proceedings for the accidents, department officials said in a letter to a federal court in Texas.
Boeing told AFP "we believe that we have honored the terms of that agreement" and that it plans to defend itself.
