The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it reached a settlement with Lockheed Martin stemming from allegations of “defective pricing on contracts for F-35 military aircraft.” The deal comes days after Attorney General Pam Bondi was confirmed by the Senate, which will shift the DOJ’s focus away from white-collar misconduct.
Lockheed agreed to pay nearly $30 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act, the DOJ said in a press release Thursday. Of the settlement total, $11.5 million is restitution and interest, according to Lockheed’s settlement agreement with the DOJ.
