WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - A plea deal struck with
Boeing ( BA ) should be accepted, the U.S. Justice Department
said in a court filing on Wednesday, after some relatives of the
346 people killed in two fatal 737 MAX crashes called for it to
be rejected.
Last month, the planemaker finalized an agreement to plead
guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and pay at least
$243.6 million after breaching a 2021 deferred prosecution
agreement.
