"The DOJ has struck a deal in principle with Boeing allowing it to avoid prosecution for the 737 MAX crashes; total penalties exceed $1.1 billion."
"The agreement permits Boeing to avoid being branded a convicted felon, a decision criticized by victims' families and some lawmakers pushing for trial."
The US Department of Justice has reached a tentative non-prosecution agreement with Boeing over fraud charges related to the 737 MAX accidents that resulted in 346 fatalities. Boeing will pay around $1.1 billion, including fines and compensation to victims' families, while also enhancing its compliance programs. Although the settlement prevents Boeing from being labeled a convicted felon, it has faced criticism from victims' families and lawmakers who wanted a trial. The final written agreement is expected next week, allowing Boeing to avoid independent oversight.
