The U.S. Justice Department will criminally charge Boeing with fraud over two fatal crashes involving 737 MAX jets, offering a plea agreement that includes a financial penalty and an independent monitor for three years. If Boeing refuses to plead guilty, prosecutors plan to take the company to trial. Victims' families expressed anger over the proposed plea deal, viewing it as inadequate accountability for the crashes. The Justice Department's decision was made after finding Boeing violated a previous agreement shielding it from prosecution.
