💨 Abstract

The U.S. Justice Department is seeking to dismiss a criminal fraud charge against Boeing related to two 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people. The deal, requiring Boeing to pay over $1.1 billion, including $445 million to victims' families, aims to avoid a trial and potential criminal conviction. Some victims' families oppose the deal, arguing it lacks meaningful accountability.
