Families of Boeing crash victims to seek criminal prosecution in final plea

Families of victims from the Boeing crashes that claimed the lives of 346 individuals in Indonesia and Ethiopia are preparing to make a potential final plea for criminal prosecution. The US District Chief Judge Reed O’Connor is set to listen to arguments regarding a motion by the federal government to dismiss a felony fraud charge against Boeing. The charge is related to the crashes that occurred off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia, sparking a global aviation crisis. Prosecutors have accused Boeing of deceiving government regulators about a faulty flight-control system that played a crucial role in the fatal flights which occurred within a short span of less than five months in 2018 and 2019.
