Prosecutors claim an anti-police activist “misused charitable donations to fund lavish vacations and shopping sprees” after starting a nonprofit organization that promised to increase “transparency and accountability” in law enforcement.
Brandon Anderson, the executive director of Raheem AI, is currently facing legal action from the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, which claims that he “diverted $75,000 of nonprofit funds for his own personal use” since 2021.
The money was used for “spending over $40,000 on a luxury vacation rental service that allows members to stay in high-end mansions and penthouse apartments, $10,000 on hotels and Airbnb’s for personal travel – including to a Cancun resort, $10,000 on designer clothing brands, and $5,000 on emergency veterinary services.”
