Thirty-one families seek to reinstate a criminal case against Boeing over 2018–2019 crashes, claiming the Justice Department violated victims’ rights by dropping a conspiracy charge.
Thirty-one families of victims from the 2018 and 2019 Boeing 737 Max crashes, which killed 346 people, asked a federal appeals court to reinstate a criminal case against Boeing, alleging the government violated their rights by dismissing the conspiracy charge without proper consultation.
The Justice Department had dropped the charge in exchange for Boeing’s $1.1 billion in fines, compensation, and safety reforms.
Families’ lawyers argued this breached the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, while prosecutors maintained they had considered victim input.
A federal judge upheld the dismissal, citing legal precedent, and the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is now reviewing the case.
