The families of the victims of two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes have asked the Justice Department on Wednesday to seek a fine of up to $24.78bn from the planemakers and criminally prosecute them.
"Because Boeing’s crime is the deadliest corporate crime in US history, a maximum fine of more than $24bn is legally justified and clearly appropriate," Paul Cassel, a lawyer representing 15 families, wrote in a letter to the Justice Department.
