Ex-White House adviser Steve Bannon arrested in Mexico wall funds scam

Washington: The charges were contained in an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court

Federal prosecutors alleged that Bannon and three others “orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors” in connection with an online crowdfunding campaign that raised more than USD 25 million to build a wall along the southern border of the United States

A phone at the office of Bannon’s lawyer went unanswered on Thursday morning. A spokeswoman for Bannon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
