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. This comes amid ongoing safety concerns following a recent in-flight incident. Source:Daily Star
