Ike Riffel, who lost his sons, Melvin and Bennet, in the Ethiopia crash, fears that Boeing will be offered a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) or be allowed to skip trial. In 2021, the DOJ charged Boeing with fraud for misleading regulators regarding the 737 MAX. However, prosecutors went on to accept an agreement that could see felony charges against Boeing dropped in three years. 'Newsweek' reports that the DOJ reopened the possibility of prosecuting Boeing in May, claiming the company breached the original 2021 deal. Now, the DOJ has until July 7 to determine whether it will file charges against Boeing. Families of those who died in the two Boeing crashes have pushed for high-ranking Boeing officials to be prosecuted and the company to be fined $24 billion. We want to find some meaning in what happened to our loved ones. , Ike Riffel, father of two Boeing 737 crash victims, via 'Newsweek'.
