Summary
$20 million in state funding is at the center of criminal charges filed by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel against business leader Fay Beydoun.
Beydoun secured the grant for Global Link International, a nonprofit business accelerator she created in 2022 to receive and spend money allocated in a budget approved by lawmakers and Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The case focuses on how that legislatively approved funding was obtained and routed through the nonprofit, putting a high-profile state grant under legal scrutiny.
