Families of individuals who perished in two Boeing 737 Max crashes are urging the U.S. to impose a $24.8 billion fine on Boeing and swiftly prosecute the company for a previously set-aside criminal charge. The families' lawyer argued that the hefty penalty is warranted due to Boeing committing the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history. The call for action includes prosecuting former Boeing leaders, such as ex-CEO Dennis Muilenburg, tied to the 2018 and 2019 crashes that claimed 346 lives. This demand aligns with the Justice Department's review on potentially reinitiating a fraud case against Boeing for breaches related to the 2021 settlement.
