Boeing could avoid US justice department prosecution over 737 Max crashes

The US Department of Justice is considering a non-prosecution agreement for Boeing regarding two fatal 737 Max crashes, despite Boeing’s reversal on a guilty plea. A meeting between US prosecutors and victims’ families discussed potential resolutions, including a $444.5 million payout to the families, but attorneys expressed outrage, claiming it undermines justice. The case, stemming from crashes linked to faulty flight control software, has faced legal challenges, particularly after a recent incident that led to the DOJ asserting Boeing breached a previous agreement.
