Boeing Justice Department max crashes.

The U.S. Justice Department has formally moved to dismiss a criminal fraud charge against Boeing and asked a judge to cancel an upcoming trial connected to two plane crashes that killed 346 people. The Justice Department filed the dismissal documents on Thursday. Documents filed last week said the Justice Department and Boeing had reached an agreement that will require the company to pay and invest more than $1.1 billion in return for dropping the criminal case. The deal will allow the company to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before the crashes. A judge will decide whether to accept the dismissal motion.
