SENS. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. , And Richard Bluemotal, D-Conn. Boeing is prosecuted On Friday by the Ministry of Justice in connection with the case of criminal fraud, which includes fatal accidents in recent years.
Democratic senators also sought DOJ to reject the experimental transaction that would prevent the aircraft from claiming guilty.
Boeing was accused of misleading regulators about its 737 Max Jet before two accidents that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019 in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
“Doj should not sign an illegal agreement with Boeing that allows the company to respond to its failure corporate culture and for any illegal behavior that has led to fatal consequences,” Warren and Bloomatal wrote.

“Any transaction between the Ministry of Justice and Boeing that allows the company and its managers to prevent accountability is a serious mistake,” they continued.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the deal, which has not yet been finalized, makes Boeing $ 1.1 billion, including $ 445 million, in exchange for federal prosecutors who abandon fraud.
The new fund will be paid to prevent prosecution in addition to the $ 500 million Boeing paid in 2021 as part of the settlement for the victims' families.
Last year, Boeing claimed to be charged with criminal fraud after two deadly crashes. The company had previously agreed to pay a maximum of $ 487.2 million and face three years of independent oversight.
But the company no longer agrees to claim guilty in the case, the prosecutors told the victims' families last week, pointing out that Boeing's position changed after the judge rejected the previous agreement in December.
According to the lawyer of Paul Kassel, who represents some families, the agreement was reprimanded by the families of the accident victims.

“Allowing Boeing to escape the trial or claim to sin is an abortion of justice, and the transaction effectively allows the company to become a conditional officer by allowing the independent monitor,” Cassel said.
“This kind of non -profit transaction is unprecedented for the most deadly crime in US history. My families will protest and hope to convince the court to reject it,” Kassel said.
Javier de Louis, who was his sister Killed in an Ethiopian accidentSaid the Doj case allows it to “depart from any pretense following justice for the victims of the 737 Max accidents.”
“Despite the mountains of reports and investigations over the past six years, documented by Boeing violations, DOJ claims that they cannot prove that anyone has done something wrong,” he said. “The message sent by this action to companies across the country” is not worried to secure your products for your customers. “

“Even if you kill them, just pay a small fine and move,” he continued. “Boeing has repeatedly shown itself to change its own ways by its own. The Alaska air door explodes five years after fatal accidents. The agreement does not provide a strong and foreign -supervised monitoring program.”
The agreement stops the June 23 court on charges of misleading the federal flight control system on the important flight control system at 737 Max.
