NEW YORK - U.S. authorities are facing fresh pressure from families of the victims of two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes to criminally prosecute the aerospace company following a January mid-air blowout that exposed ongoing safety issues.
The deal, known as a deferred prosecution agreement , gave the U.S. planemaker an avenue to avoid being prosecuted on a charge of conspiring to defraud the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration . The panel that dislodged from the plane appeared to be missing four key bolts, according to an early review from U.S. safety investigators. The investigators questioned Boeing for failing to supply key documents and names sought in their probe.Boeing has said the company was cooperating and believes required documents detailing the removal of a key part during production of the MAX jet were never created.
The Justice Department could also attempt to hit the planemaker with additional fines or push the company to plead guilty, an outcome that could affect Boeing's ability to secure government contracts, according to a Reuters review of prosecutors' actions following findings that companies violated other similar agreements.
The Tuesday meeting is largely expected to amount to a formality in preparation for the April 24 gathering, and lawyers for the families are not expecting to learn much about the ongoing investigation, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
