By David Shepardson 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.

The Justice Department advised families of victims of two 737 Max crashes that it was considering a plan to drop a previous agreement under which Boeing would have pleaded guilty.

Boeing avoided criminal charges after the Justice Department came to a tentative agreement with the company not to prosecute the airline manufacturer for violating an earlier criminal settlement, according to The Wall Street Journal.
