A public-record case file for U.S. safety-oversight and accountability records concerning the Boeing 737 MAX (2019-2026): the federal criminal fraud matter, NTSB accident investigations, FAA regulatory action, DOT Inspector General audits, and congressional oversight. In the criminal matter (United States v. The Boeing Company, N.D. Tex. No. 4:21-cr-00005-O), the Department of Justice charged Boeing with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and entered a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement; DOJ later determined Boeing breached that agreement (2024), a proposed guilty-plea agreement was filed and then rejected by the court (December 5, 2024), and the case was ultimately resolved by a non-prosecution agreement (May 29, 2025) and dismissed (November 6, 2025). Boeing was not convicted in this matter, and the crash-victim families' mandamus appeal was denied by the Fifth Circuit (March 31, 2026, with a rehearing petition pending); the file keeps official court, safety-investigation, audit, and legislative records separate and never treats a charge, agreement, or dismissal as a conviction.
