Southern Poverty Law Center's Revenue Surges Amid DOJ Probe into Charlottesville Ties
The Southern Poverty Law Center's revenue more than doubled in the months following the 2017 Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally, but the group is now facing renewed scrutiny after a DOJ allegation of ties between an informant and the organization.
The Southern Poverty Law Center saw a significant revenue surge in the months following the 2017 Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally, but this gain is now being scrutinized after the Department of Justice alleged ties between the organization and an informant. The SPLC's revenue more than doubled during that period, raising questions about potential corruption or exploitation of the charity's work. An investigation into the matter has been launched by the DOJ, which claims to have evidence linking the organization to an informant working for them. The development has sparked concerns about the integrity of the SPLC and its role in monitoring hate groups.
