WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Families of some of the 346 people killed in two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes plan to object to a tentative nonprosecution agreement between the planemaker and the U.S. Justice Department,

The Justice Department may drop its criminal prosecution of Boeing for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed and killed 346 people.

Boeing is nearing a nonprosecution agreement with the U.S. DOJ over the deadly 737 MAX crashes, potentially avoiding a public trial. Victims' families criticize the move, saying it lets Boeing escape real accountability.
