Overview
The U.S. Justice Department has reached a non-prosecution agreement with Boeing, allowing the company to avoid criminal charges related to two fatal 737 Max crashes. Boeing will pay over $1.1 billion, including a $487.2 million fine and $444.5 million for a victims' fund. While some families support the deal, others criticize it as insufficient accountability for the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history. The agreement follows a complex legal history, including previous settlements and a judge's rejection of a plea deal. The DOJ claims the resolution serves the public interest and enhances safety measures.
