Polish airline asks U.S. judge to declare it crime victim in 737 MAX case
(Reuters) -Polish national airline PLL LOT on Friday asked a U.S. judge to declare it was a crime victim in the Boeing (NYSE:BA) 737 MAX criminal case, a move that could make the airline eligible for significant compensation. He will determine what remedies should be imposed. LOT argued it should have the same rights in the case as victims' families. Boeing's best-selling 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March 2019 for 20 months after two fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people. In December, some victims' relatives argued the Justice Department violated their rights when it struck that agreement with Boeing and asked O’Connor to rescind Boeing’s immunity from criminal prosecution. The crashes cost Boeing more than $20 billion and prompted reforms to airplane certification. Source: Investing.com
