Ma na waiho ana o na Aha i keia la, ua ʻOihana Hoʻokolokolo o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (US DOJ) ua noi aku i ka aha federala ma Texas e hōʻole i ka noi a nā ʻohana o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia ma nā Boeing ʻelua 737 MAX hāʻule e hoʻopau i ka ʻāpana o ka ʻaelike o ka makahiki i hala ma waena o ke Aupuni US a me Boeing, e pale ana i ka mea hana mokulele mai ka hoʻopiʻi hewa.

ka Keena Hookolokolo o Amerika ke kū'ē nei i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana a nā ʻohana o ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia e ʻōlelo ana ua uhaki ke aupuni US i ko lākou mau kuleana kānāwai i ka wā i hōʻea ai i kahi hoʻoholo $2.5 biliona me ka Boeing i Ianuali o 2021 e hoʻoholo ai i kahi hoʻopiʻi hewa i ka mea hana mokulele.

ʻO nā ʻohana o ka 737 MAX poʻe pōʻino ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa nei ua uhaki nā loio aupuni i ke kānāwai o ka poʻe hewa ma ka haʻi ʻole ʻana iā lākou e kūkākūkā ana ke aupuni US i kahi kuʻikahi me Boeing e hiki ai i ka mea hana mokulele ke pale aku i ka hoʻopiʻi. Makemake nā ʻohana i ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo e hoʻopau i ka ʻāpana o ka hoʻoponopono e pale ai iā Boeing mai ka hoʻopiʻi hewa.

Ma ka waiho ʻana i kēia lā, ʻo ka Keʻena o ka Pono ua haʻi aku i ka ʻaha, ʻaʻole nā lālā o ka ʻohana i hoʻopaʻi hewa ʻia. Ua ʻōlelo pū nā loio o ka ʻoihana ua pau ka hoʻoholo ʻana me Boeing 737 MAX hāʻule ʻo ka uku kālā ma mua o ka mea i koi ʻia e ke kānāwai.

Ua ʻae ka ʻaelike iā Boeing e pale aku i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana, a ua komo ka uku o $243.6 miliona, ka uku i nā mokulele o $1.77 biliona a me kahi kālā $500 miliona no ka poʻe ulia ma luna o nā hoʻopiʻi kipi hoʻopunipuni e pili ana i ka hoʻolālā hemahema o ka mokulele.

ʻO ke kuʻikahi, i loaʻa iā Ianuali 2021, i ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻokele mua ʻana o ka Pelekikena Donald Trump, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kahi hoʻokolokolo aupuni 21 mau mahina i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka 737 MAX ma hope o nā ulia make ʻelua, ma Indonesia i 2018 a me ʻAitiopa i 2019. o 346 poʻe i nalowale i ko lākou ola ma nā pōʻino ʻelua.

Wahi a ka US Department of Justice, $471 miliona - 94% o ka $500 miliona mai ka waihona kālā i hoʻopilikia ʻia - ua hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻohana o 326 o ka 346 mau pōʻino.

Ma ka waiho ʻana, ua wehewehe ke keʻena i kāna hoʻoholo ʻaʻole e lawe iā Boeing i kahi hoʻokolokolo no ka hoʻopiʻi hewa ʻana i ka hoʻopunipuni ʻana i ka Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), ka ʻoihana e hoʻoponopono i nā mea hana mokulele a loiloi i kā lākou mokulele.

"ʻAʻohe kānalua ua hui pū ʻo Boeing e hoʻopunipuni i ke aupuni federal i ka wā i hoʻopunipuni ai i ka FAA Aircraft Evaluation Group," i ʻōlelo ai ka DOJ i kāna waiho ʻana.

"ʻO ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana o ke aupuni, ʻaʻole ia i hōʻike i nā hōʻike i manaʻoʻiʻo e hiki iā ia ke hōʻoia ma waho o kahi kānalua kūpono i nā kumu i kumu nā ulia o ka mokulele Lion Air 610 a me ka mokulele ʻo Ethiopian Airlines 302, "i ʻōlelo ai ka faila, e pili ana i nā mokulele make ʻelua.

ʻO kahi loio no nā ʻohana, ua hoʻohewa i ke kūlana o ka DOJ ʻaʻole hiki i nā ʻohana o ka poʻe i make i ka pōʻino ke ʻano he "poʻe hewa" ma lalo o ke kānāwai federal US.

"ʻO ka ʻōlelo a ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻAʻole ʻo nā ʻohana ka 'poʻehia' o nā hewa a Boeing he mea ʻole a kākoʻo ʻole ʻia," i ʻōlelo ai ka loio i loko o kahi ʻōlelo.

ʻO nā pōʻino o ka Lion Air a me ʻAitiopa i kūʻai ʻia ʻo Boeing ma kahi o $ 20 biliona a alakaʻi i kahi 20 mau mahina o ka honua holoʻokoʻa o ka mokulele 737 MAX i pau i ka makahiki 2020, ua koi ʻia ka US Congress e hoʻoholo i ke kānāwai e hoʻoponopono ai i ka hōʻoia mokulele hou.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

In today’s courts filings, the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) asked a federal court in Texas to reject a bid by relatives of the people killed in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes to strike down the part of the last year’s deal between US Government and Boeing, that shields the aircraft manufacturer from criminal prosecution.
The families of the 737 MAX crash victims argue that government lawyers violated a crime-victims law by not telling them that the US government was negotiating a deal with Boeing that would allow the plane manufacturer to avoid prosecution.
The deal, reached in January 2021, at the end of former President Donald Trump's administration, capped a 21-month government investigation into the design and development of the 737 MAX following the two deadly crashes, in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia in 2019.
