DOJ Expands SPLC Indictment Over $1.2 Million Sent to Neo-Nazi Informant Partner

Summary
A June 2 superseding indictment says an SPLC Intelligence Project leader helped route more than $1.2 million in donor funds to a paid source who infiltrated the National Alliance and was secretly the official’s romantic partner.
Prosecutors say the transfers ran from 2015 to 2021 through a shell company called Tech Writers, with much of the money landing in a shared bank account the couple used for household expenses.
Investigators traced about $140,000 directly from SPLC’s main operating account through the shell company into the joint account, where it made up roughly two-thirds of the funds on hand.
The broader DOJ case accuses SPLC of using tax-exempt money to support extremists it publicly opposed, including alleged spending tied to KKK robes, cross-burnings and travel for rallies.
FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators will “follow the money,” while SPLC declined to comment as scrutiny of the nonprofit widens.

Overview
On June 2, 2026, the Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), escalating ongoing legal proceedings. This expanded indictment introduced new allegations and focused more deeply on the SPLC’s financial practices and its paid informant program. Notably, the DOJ removed the phrase 'false or misleading statements' from certain charges, which legal experts saw as a sign that earlier grand jury instructions may have been flawed. In response, the SPLC requested grand jury transcripts, arguing that the DOJ’s mischaracterizations led to the grand jury being actively weaponized to bring charges against them.
