STORY: Boeing is set to face criminal charges over fraud following the two fatal crashes of its 737 MAX jets some years ago.Reuters sources said Sunday that the U.S. Department of Justice had decided on the course of action. There was no comment on the report from officials or the company. The deadly crashes took place in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. They were later traced to a design flaw in the jets, which has since been fixed. Boeing later agreed a deferred prosecution deal, which shielded it from criminal charges. That was in return for compensating victims’ families, and taking steps to improve compliance. But in January this year, a midair blowout on another MAX jet revived concern over how well the planes are made. Prosecutors subsequently concluded that Boeing had not honored the terms of the deferred prosecution deal - something the company disputes. Now Boeing will reportedly have until the end of the week to plead guilty or face a trial. It is expected to see a new financial penalty, and will have to submit to independent monitoring. Pleading guilty may not be an attractive move for the firm, which is also a big maker of military aircraft and other defense gear. Companies with felony convictions can face restrictions on government contracts, though it’s possible a plea deal could include terms that avoid such an outcome.

CEO Christian Klein has overseen SAP's turnaround since 2020, focusing on helping customers transition to the cloud while striking useful partnerships with hyperscalers such as Google and Nvidia along the way.

Professional sports leagues have 4.8 billion reasons to review how they distribute out-of-market broadcasts after Thursday's judgement against the NFL in the “Sunday Ticket” case in U.S. District Court. The jury of five men and three women determined the NFL violated antitrust laws in distributing Sunday afternoon games not aired locally on Fox or CBS on a premium subscription service that only had one distributor. Since damages can be tripled under federal antitrust laws, the NFL could end up being liable for $14.39 billion.
