The Department of Justice expanded an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), alleging it secretly funneled over $3 million in donor funds to extremist groups like the KKK, United Klans of America, and the National Socialist Movement between 2014 and 2023. The 11-count indictment includes charges of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, with prosecutors alleging SPLC used fictitious entities to conceal payments to informants linked to racist organizations.
