Prosecutors Urge DOJ to Charge Boeing Over 737 MAX Crashes

Justice Department faces July 7 deadline to decide on criminal charges following alleged settlement violations.

Federal prosecutors recommend criminal charges against Boeing for breaching a 2021 agreement.
The 2021 deferred prosecution agreement was related to two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019.
Boeing allegedly failed to implement required compliance and ethics programs as per the agreement.
Families of crash victims demand a $25 billion fine and criminal prosecution of Boeing executives.
The Justice Department is also considering extending the settlement or imposing stricter terms.
