Airplane maker Boeing will be arraigned in federal court in Texas Thursday on a criminal charge of conspiracy to commit fraud related to the crashes of two 737 Max commercial jets in Indonesia in 2018 and in Ethiopia in 2019 that killed a total of 346 people.
U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor of the Northern District of Texas ordered Boeing last week to be publicly arraigned on the felony charge, adding that the company "has no right to waive its appearance."
