DOJ May Drop Boeing 737 Max Criminal Case
Tap title to read story
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering dropping its criminal case against Boeing related to two fatal 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people. Boeing had initially agreed to a plea deal, but a judge rejected it. The DOJ is now proposing a non-criminal settlement involving a $444.5 million crash victims' fund. Families of the victims are outraged and plan to fight the proposed deal, arguing it allows Boeing to avoid accountability. A final decision from the DOJ is pending.
