A lawyer for 16 families of the victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the aviation giant and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is "morally repugnant". The firm said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.
"Boeing is committed to complying with its obligations under this resolution, which include a substantial additional fine and commitments to further institutional improvements and investments," said a company spokesperson. If the deal is approved by a federal judge the plane maker will avoid a criminal fraud trial. "The [DOJ] agreed that it will not further criminally prosecute the company", said Boeing in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
