Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to misleading regulators in connection with the deadly crashes of two 737 Max jets. But that deal with the DOJ has not quieted the anger of crash victims’ families.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun testified before a Senate subcommittee last month, while family members of those killed in crashes of two Boeing 737 Max 8 jets in 2018 and 2019 held photographs of their loved ones.Boeing agrees to plead guilty and pay a nearly quarter-billion dollar fine
The Justice Department hailed that as an important concession, arguing that Boeing has agreed to the most serious penalties that were available.As the DOJ investigates Boeing, crash victims' families wonder why it's taken so long This time, the Justice Department insisted on an independent monitor to ensure Boeing is complying with the terms of the agreement. That’s a tool the department uses routinely in cases of corporate malfeasance, said Veronica Root Martinez, an expert on corporate misconduct and compliance and a professor at Duke University School of Law.
Under the proposed agreement announced on Sunday, any member of the public can suggest a proposed monitor, as long as they meet certain qualifications. The Justice Department would then make the final call, with input from Boeing.
