American government lawyers have added money laundering to the list of charges against actor Lori Loughlin and other parents in connection with a college admissions bribery case. On March 12, federal lawyer Andrew Lelling announced that 50 people had been charged in a $25-million plot to buy their children’s admission into American colleges. Lelling said the plot was set up to guarantee admissions for students, in his words, “not on their merits, but through fraud.” The reported plot includes cheating on college entrance examinations, lying about successes in sports and school, and claiming payments as aid donations to avoid paying taxes. Lelling named William “Rick” Singer as the organizer of the reported plot. Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are among 33 parents accused. They were arrested on a single charge of conspiracy to commit fraud.
