The U.S. Department of Justice filed a serious indictment against the Left-wing "Southern Poverty Law Center" (SPLC), a well-known civil rights organization in the U.S., on charges of fraud and money laundering. The prosecution claims that the organization transferred millions of dollars from donor funds to leaders of hate and extremist groups, including the "Ku Klux Klan" and the National Socialist movement.
According to the indictment, the illegal activity spanned about a decade, from 2014 to 2023, and was carried out by deceiving thousands of American donors. To conceal the money trail, the organization allegedly established a network of shell companies intended to mislead financial institutions.
