A lawyer for 16 families of victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the firm and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is “morally repugnant”.
Boeing said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (£811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.
Sanjiv Singh, counsel for family members of some of the victims of a 2018 crash in Indonesia, says the deal allows the firm to “sidestep true criminal accountability”.
Boeing has previously said: “We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honouring their loved ones’ memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company”.
