Boeing avoids criminal trial over 737 Max crashes after accepting plea deal
Boeing will plead guilty to criminal fraud charges related to two 737 Max crashes, following violations of a prior agreement, according to the Justice Department.
The plea deal allows Boeing to avoid a trial and potential penalties, with families of crash victims seeking fines up to $25 billion.
The Justice Department plans to file the written plea agreement with the court by July 19, pending federal judge approval.
