Boeing Agrees to Plead Guilty to Criminal Fraud Over 737 MAX Crashes
ai generated text
Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge, marking a significant development in the company's legal troubles. The plea deal comes after federal prosecutors charged Boeing with violating a 2021 settlement related to two fatal crashes of its 737 MAX aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia. As part of the agreement, Boeing will pay a fine of $243.6 million and invest at least $455 million over three years in strengthening its safety and compliance programs. The company will also be subject to a third-party monitor's assessment of its safety and quality procedures.
Boeing needs to succeed for the sake of the jobs it provides, for the sake of local economies it supports, for the sake of the American travelling public, for the sake of our military.
Through crafty lawyering between Boeing and DOJ, the deadly consequences of Boeing's crime are being hidden.
This sweetheart deal fails to recognize that because of Boeing's conspiracy, 346 people died.
