DOJ Should Not Drop Charges Against Boeing

  • The U.S. Department of Justice intends to dismiss criminal fraud charges against Boeing related to the fatal crashes of two 737 MAX8 aircraft that resulted in 346 deaths.
  • This decision follows investigations that revealed internal company issues, and families with their lawyers strongly denounced the possibility as unjust.
  • Rather than proceeding with the trial set to begin on June 23, Boeing agreed to contribute an extra $444.5 million to a compensation pool that will be distributed equally among the families of the crash victims.
  • Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg recently signed a $96 billion contract in Doha for up to 210 widebody aircraft, with President Donald Trump present at the event.
  • Although Boeing shows signs of recovery with a new leader and resolved strike, many believe the planned DOJ resolution will deepen victims’ families’ pain and challenge Boeing’s efforts to restore its reputation.
