The US Department of Justice is considering a non-prosecution agreement for Boeing in a case tied to two fatal crashes as the plane maker reverses its previous decision to plead guilty, according to people familiar with the matter.
US prosecutors and the victims’ families on Friday met to discuss the next steps to resolve the long-running case against Boeing, according to one person familiar with the matter.
The options include an agreement that would spare Boeing prosecution, given it had made clear it would not plead guilty, the person added. No final decision has been made. The two sides could still go to trial, with a June 23 date still on the calendar.
