DOJ plans to drop Boeing prosecution in 737 crashes

Federal prosecutors on Friday told relatives of those who lost loved ones in fatal crashes of two 737 Max jets that they are considering dropping a criminal case against Boeing, lawyers said. An attorney representing the families said the notification amounted to a “prearranged conclusion.”

The news, which came during a video meeting with Justice Department lawyers, is the latest twist in the long-running case that has centered around Boeing’s role in two fatal airliner crashes that combined killed 346 people — one in Indonesia in 2018 and a second, five months later, in Ethiopia.

Family members were stunned, lawyers said. Under an agreement reached last year, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to one count of fraud, but the deal did not result in a formal plea. Instead, as talks continued, a federal judge set a date for a criminal trail next month in Texas.

Paul Cassell, a professor of criminal law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, who is representing the families, said in a statement that while Lorinda Laryea, the acting chief of the criminal fraud division, indicated that a final decision has not been made in a meeting with families Friday, it was clear that Boeing would face few consequences for its role in the deadly crashes.
