SPLC Indicted on Fraud Charges

The indictment claims the Alabama-based civil rights group funneled millions of dollars through shell accounts and prepaid cards to pay informants within the Ku Klux Klan and other far-right organizations.

Federal authorities contend this program effectively 'manufactured racism' to maintain donor interest and funding.

Interim CEO Bryan Fair has denied the allegations, stating the organization is being 'targeted' by the Trump administration for its political views.

If convicted, the SPLC faces significant financial forfeitures and a total severance of its long-standing partnership with federal law enforcement.
