Boeing Faces Outrage Over Proposed Plea Deal in 737 Max Fraud Case

Families of crash victims condemn the deal, calling it insufficient for holding the company accountable.

  • Federal prosecutors offer Boeing a plea deal to settle a criminal fraud charge related to the 737 Max crashes.
  • Victims' families are urging the judge to reject the deal, describing it as a 'sweetheart' arrangement.
  • The proposed deal includes a $244 million fine and three years of monitoring, which some believe is inadequate.
  • Boeing's acceptance of the deal could prevent further exposure of the company's actions during FAA certification.
  • The plea deal could impact Boeing's status as a federal contractor and influence future legal agreements.
