SPLC Indicted for Fraud

A federal grand jury has returned a sweeping indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, accusing the organization of a decade-long fraud scheme.

Prosecutors allege the SPLC improperly raised millions of dollars from supporters under the guise of fighting racism, while secretly using those funds to pay informants within hate groups.

The list of recipients reportedly includes a neo-Nazi leader and an ex-Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard.

The Trump administration has labeled the SPLC a 'criminal organization,' while Senate Democrats have criticized the investigation as a politically motivated 'Department of Vengeance' move.
