Relatives of Boeing crash victims urge US judge to reject plea deal
Some of the lawyers argued that the Justice Department is treating Boeing lightly because the firm is a major contractor to the US government. Under this month’s deal, Boeing would pay a fine of at least 243.6 million dollars (£189m), invest 455 million dollars (£354m) in compliance and safety programmes, and be placed on probation for three years. The Justice Department and Boeing would pick a monitor to oversee the company’s compliance. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, can accept the agreement and the proposed sentence, or reject the deal, which likely would lead to new negotiations between Boeing and prosecutors. Relatives of many of the victims want Boeing to be put on trial.

They further argued that the court, and not the Justice Department, should pick the monitor to oversee Boeing during its probation.

Ethiopia Lands $3.4 Billion IMF Loan Following Currency Floatation
ShareEthiopia has secured a $3.4 billion loan from the IMF following the decision to float its currency. This move is part of broader reforms aimed at alleviating the country’s foreign currency shortages and attracting foreign investments. IMF’s approval follows extensive negotiations with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s administration, which seeks to borrow over $10 billion from the IMF and World Bank to manage the country’s escalating debt. The Ethiopian economy has faced pressure from double-digit inflation and increasing debt repayments, with external debt exceeding $28 billion as of December 2023. The US, IMF, and World Bank withdrew their support during the war, further straining an economy already suffering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
