The ruling by a judge in Texas came after relatives of some of the victims said the government violated their rights by reaching a settlement with Boeing.
A federal judge has ordered Boeing Co. to be arraigned on a felony charge stemming from crashes of two 737 Max jets, a ruling that threatens to unravel an agreement Boeing negotiated to avoid prosecution.
U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor ordered Boeing to send a representative to his courtroom in Fort Worth Jan. 26 for arraignment. A Boeing spokesman said the company had no comment. The Justice Department, which fought against re-opening the settlement, did not immediately comment. Most of the money from the settlement went to airlines that couldn't use their Max jets for nearly two years after the planes were grounded worldwide. Boeing agreed to pay a $243.6 million fine and create a $500 million fund to compensate victims' families.
