Families for some of the 346 people ******* in two fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes said on Wednesday a U.S. judge should ******* the planemaker’s proposed plea deal with the Justice Department and the government should seek a much higher fine.

On July 24,

 to plead guilty to a ********* ****** *********** charge and pay up to $487 million after breaching a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement.

Paul Cassell, a lawyer for some of the families, said in a court filing the fine “is inadequate — or, at the very least, rests on misleading accounting and inaccurate accounting.” He added the fine “fails to reflect that Boeing’s ****** ******* 346 innocent victims.” Cassell called that decision “not only inaccurate—it is morally reprehensible.”

Adrian Vuckovich, another lawyer representing relatives, said in a separate filing “we suggest that Boeing should be required to pay a substantial fine which recognizes the value of each of the 346 people *******, the substantial harm to others and pay a fine which is consistent with fines paid by other corporate ********* defendants.”

The families cited O’Connor’s statement in a February 2023 ruling: “Boeing’s ****** may properly be considered the deadliest corporate ****** in U.S. history.”

Spokespeople for Boeing and the Justice Department did not immediately comment on the families’ filings.

 in the agreement that shielded the planemaker from ********* prosecution stemming from misrepresentations about a key software feature tied to fatal 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

The Justice Department has a separate ********* probe ongoing into the Alaska Airlines jet that was missing four key bolts.

As part of the guilty plea deal, Boeing agreed to pay the maximum fine of $487.2 million and the DOJ recommended the court credit its previous 2021 payment of $243.6 million against that, which was required by 2021 deal.

The deal also imposes an independent monitor, who will have to publicly file annual progress reports, to oversee the firm’s compliance. The company’s board — including new CEO — must meet with the victims’ families within four months of sentencing.
