No criminal charge has been filed against the company or its affiliates, the company added.

Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) had received a subpoena in late 2019 focused on alleged hiring restrictions between Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of Raytheon, and some of its suppliers of outsourced engineering services. It also included requests regarding Collins Aerospace.

A former Pratt & Whitney employee and some other employees of outsourced engineering suppliers were charged in December for restricting the hiring and recruiting of engineers and skilled laborers in a way that violated antitrust laws.

“Raytheon Technologies is committed to complying with applicable state and federal laws and is cooperating fully with the government’s inquiry,” the company said in a statement.
