WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Families of victims of the two 737 MAX crashes on Thursday said the U.S. Justice Department violated their rights when it struck a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing in January.
Relatives filed a motion arguing the United States Government “lied and violated their rights through a secret process.” They have asked a U.S. judge to declare that the order violated victims’ families rights to rescind Boeing’s immunity from criminal prosecution that was part of a $2.5 billion agreement.
