Boeing to plead guilty in US probe of fatal 737 MAX crashes, says DOJ official
Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to criminal fraud conspiracy charges related to two fatal 737 MAX crashes. The company will pay a $243.6 million fine and invest $455 million in safety programs. A third-party monitor will oversee compliance. The plea deal, which requires court approval, aims to resolve a US Justice Department investigation but faces opposition from victims’ families.
