Boeing Settles Osprey False Claims Allegations for $8.1M

Boeing has agreed to pay $8.1 million to settle allegations that it submitted false claims and made false statements regarding its contracts with the U.S. Navy to build the V-22 Osprey. The government accused Boeing of failing to conduct required monthly tests on autoclaves used in the manufacturing process. The settlement, which includes payments to former employees who filed a civil action, allows Boeing to avoid lengthy litigation and does not require the company to admit liability.
