Families of Boeing 737 MAX Crash Victims Demand Higher Penalties

Relatives urge judge to reject plea deal, seek substantial fines and accountability for 346 deaths.

  • Lawyers for the families argue the proposed fines are inadequate and fail to reflect the severity of the crime.
  • The plea deal includes a fine between $243.6 million and $487 million, along with compliance measures and a three-year probation.
  • Families claim Boeing's actions represent the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.
  • Boeing and the Justice Department have not commented on the families' recent filings.
  • The judge has the authority to accept or reject the plea agreement, potentially leading to new negotiations.
