The U.S. Justice Department on April 24 met with the families of the victims of two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 as it considers opening criminal charges against the aviation company.
The Justice Department has until July 7 to decide if Boeing violated its 2021 deferred prosecution agreement that allowed the manufacturer to avoid criminal prosecution if it paid its fines, disclosed any allegations of fraud, abstained from committing felony offenses, and cooperated with the government.
