US government to offer Boeing ‘sweetheart deal’, lawyer says

A lawyer representing victims of two fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes has told the BBC that the US government is preparing to offer the plane maker a “sweetheart plea deal”.

Paul Cassell, who says he got the information “directly from the Justice Department”, added that the deal includes a small fine, three years of probation and independent safety audits.

Boeing did not immediately reply to the BBC’s request for comment, while the Justice Department (DoJ) declined to provide a statement.

Last week, US prosecutors recommended that the DoJ bring ********* charges against the plane maker.

That was after the DoJ said Boeing had violated a 2021 settlement related to the crashes which ******* 346 people.

“The memory of 346 innocents ******* by Boeing demands more justice than this,” said Mr Cassell, adding that the “families will strenuously object to this plea deal”.

The plane crashes – both involving Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft – occurred within six months of each other.

The ****** involving Indonesia’s Lion Air occurred in October 2018, followed by an ********** Airlines flight in March 2019.
