SUMMARY: The U.S. Justice Department is urging Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud related to two deadly 737 Max crashes, with a deadline of next week to accept or reject the offer. This includes appointing an independent monitor to ensure compliance with anti-fraud laws. The case follows Boeing’s alleged violation of a 2021 settlement agreement.
