Boeing executives could still face criminal charges over the fatal 2018 and 2019 737 MAX crashes, U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officials told the victims’ family members during a May 31 meeting.

The Justice Department met with the families and their attorneys for the second time since late April to discuss the agency’s plans after it announced in May that Boeing violated a 2021 criminal settlement.
