Boeing has accepted a plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over the deadly crashes of the 737 MAX jetliners. The Justice Department announced that Boeing will plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge after violating an agreement that had protected the company from prosecution for more than three years.
Federal prosecutors accused Boeing of deceiving regulators in the approval of the airplane and pilot-training requirements for the 737 MAX. The company was given the choice to either plead guilty and pay a fine as part of its sentence or face a trial on the felony criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
This development comes after years of investigation into the crashes involving the 737 MAX, which tragically claimed the lives of hundreds of passengers. The plea deal marks a significant step in holding Boeing accountable for its actions and ensuring justice for the victims and their families.
