GE Aerospace, an operating division of General Electric providing aircraft engines, systems, and avionics, agreed to pay more than $9.4 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) addressing allegations the company sold parts to the U.S. military without proper inspections or specifications.
GE Aerospace admitted one of its Massachusetts-based manufacturing plants occasionally “did not conduct required parts inspections and sold engines containing parts that did not meet certain required specifications to U.S. miliary customers,” the DOJ said in a press release Monday.
The activities by the plant, which occurred between July 2012 and December 2019, violated the False Claims Act, the agency stated.
