Boeing pleaded not guilty at an arraignment in federal court today. The company is charged with felony fraud related to the crashes of two of its 737 Max airplanes that killed 346 people.
Relatives of those killed in crashes object to Boeing settlement"It was a sweetheart deal. It wasn't justice," Ryan told NPR last year."And by giving this immunity, basically, the decision makers have not been held to account."
In a brief filed with the court late Wednesday, the relatives of the crash victims say that the defendant, Boeing,"committed the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history," contending that the court has already determined that,"In sum, but for Boeing's criminal conspiracy to defraud the FAA, 346 people would not have lost their lives in the crashes."
Under the terms of the deal, Boeing admitted to defrauding the FAA by concealing safety problems with the 737 Max, and agreed to pay $2.5 billion in fines and compensation to airlines and relatives of the crash victims.
