CHARLESTON, S.C. — A grand jury has indicted convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced South Carolina attorney, on federal fraud charges, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Murdaugh, 54, is currently serving life in prison after being convicted of murdering his wife and their youngest son.
The alleged schemes involved routing clients' settlement funds to his own accounts as well as a fake account under the name"Forge," as well as conspiring with a banker to commit wire fraud and bank fraud. The banker, Russell Laffitte, was convicted on six federal charges in connection with the scheme in November 2022, prosecutors said.
Murdaugh resigned from his firm, Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth, & Detrick, in September 2021. The firm has also sued him for allegedly funneling stolen money from clients and the law firm into a fake bank account for years.
