Former SPLC Official Faces Federal Charges | Orlando News

A former SPLC official, Heidi Beirich, now faces federal charges alleging she funneled millions to extremist groups — including KKK regalia purchases — through wire fraud and money laundering schemes. Though released on her own recognizance, she must surrender her passport and report to Alabama.
