Families of Boeing 737 Max Crash Victims Await DOJ Decision on Prosecution
Relatives seek accountability and transparency from Boeing and the U.S. Justice Department after two fatal crashes.
- The 2019 Ethiopian Airlines and 2018 Lion Air crashes resulted in 346 deaths due to faulty MCAS software.
- Families fear the DOJ might offer Boeing a deferred prosecution agreement, avoiding a full trial.
- Victims' relatives demand prosecution of Boeing executives and a $24 billion fine for the company.
- Many families have settled lawsuits with Boeing confidentially but continue to push for safer aviation standards.
- The DOJ's decision on whether to prosecute Boeing is expected by July 7.
