Boeing 737 Max,Boeing 737

The Justice Department has presented Boeing with a plea deal in which the company would plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, pay a fine and enter a three-year probation period.

The Justice Department has presented Boeing with a plea deal after it accused the airplane manufacturer of violating the terms of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement that was put in place following two 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019.The Justice Department told Boeing it could plead guilty or go to trial, people familiar with the talks confirmed to CBS News.

'The deal will not acknowledge, in any way, that Boeing's crime killed 346 people. It also appears to rest on the idea that Boeing did not harm any victim,' Cassell said, adding that 'Judge O'Connor will have to decide whether this no-accountability-deal is in the public interest. ... The memory of 346 innocents killed by Boeing demands more justice than this.'Boeing and the Justice Department declined to comment on the plea deal.
