A federal judge has set a trial date for June 23 in the Justice Department's criminal fraud case against Boeing for alleged misrepresentations about the 737 MAX system. After Boeing initially pled guilty to a conspiracy charge and agreed to a fine, the judge rejected the initial plea deal and now seeks a new agreement. Families of crash victims criticize the previous plea as insufficient, urging for a full prosecution, while Boeing claims it is negotiating in good faith with the DOJ.
"Boeing's crime may properly be considered the deadliest corporate crime in US history."
"Relatives of the victims of the two 737 MAX crashes called the plea agreement a ‘sweetheart’ deal that failed to adequately hold Boeing accountable."
