Federal officials from the Justice Department are meeting with Boeing and the families of victims of fatal crashes as a deadline for filing criminal charges against Boeing nears.

Federal prosecutors are meeting with planemaker Boeing and the relatives of victims killed in two 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 ahead of a July 7 deadline for the Justice Department to decide whether the company will face criminal charges, according to a report by Reuters. In its report, Reuters cited two people familiar with the matter as well as correspondence the outlet said it reviewed.

That incident occurred two days before Boeing's deferred prosecution agreement expired and exposed ongoing safety and quality issues at the aerospace giant. Boeing had been poised to escape prosecution over a criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration over the fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.
