Boeing to Plead Guilty to Criminal Fraud Charge Over 737 MAX Crashes
Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge following accusations of violating an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ). This decision is from the company’s failure to adhere to mandated reforms after the fatal crashes of its 737 MAX aircraft in 2018 and 2019, which resulted in the loss of 346 lives.
