The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is currently involved in a legal battle with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over claims of financial misconduct and incorrect legal procedures.

南方貧困法律中心 (SPLC) 目前正與司法部 (DOJ) 就財務不端及法律程序錯誤的指控進行法律鬥爭。

The Department of Justice has charged the SPLC with eleven counts of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors claim that between 2010 and 2023, the organization used secret accounts to pay approximately $4 million to informants inside extremist groups, such as the KKK. They emphasize that these funds were moved without telling donors and by deceiving banks, which may have helped extremists buy materials for their activities. However, the SPLC denies any fraud and asserts that these informant operations were necessary to prevent violence.

司法部指控 SPLC 犯有十一項電匯詐騙、銀行詐騙及共謀洗錢罪。檢察官稱在 2010 年至 2023 年間，該組織利用秘密帳戶向極端主義團體（如 KKK）內部的線人支付了約 400 萬美元。他們強調，這些資金是在未通知捐款者且欺騙銀行的情況下轉移的，而這些資金可能幫助極端分子購買活動物資。然而，SPLC 否認任何詐騙，並堅稱這些線人行動對於防止暴力是必要的。

At the same time, a conflict has started regarding the release of a legal document called an indictment. The SPLC has asked the court to punish the DOJ, claiming that a draft of the document was leaked to the media before it was officially filed. The organization argues that this was a breach of secrecy and suggests that the government cared more about media attention than legal rules. Furthermore, the SPLC has asked to dismiss the case, claiming that the prosecution is actually a revenge tactic by the government because of the SPLC's research on political leaders.

與此同時，關於一份名為「起訴書」的法律文件的發布引起了衝突。SPLC 要求法院懲罰司法部，稱該文件的草稿在正式提交前已洩漏給媒體。該組織認為這是對保密原則的違反，並暗示政府更在意媒體關注而非法律規則。此外，SPLC 要求撤銷案件，稱此次起訴實際上是政府因 SPLC 對政治領袖進行研究而採取的報復手段。

Finally, there is a disagreement regarding the 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville. A DOJ document states that an individual known as F-37 received over $300,000 from the SPLC over nine years and helped organize transportation for the event. However, the document does not say that the SPLC organized the rally itself or that the money was specifically used for transport. Despite this, Elon Musk shared claims on social media suggesting that the SPLC orchestrated the entire event.

最後，關於在夏洛茨維爾舉行的「團結右翼」集會存在分歧。一份司法部文件指出，一名代號為 F-37 的人士在九年內從 SPLC 收到超過 30 萬美元，並協助該活動組織交通。然而，文件並未指出 SPLC 組織了集會本身，也未說明該資金專門用於交通。儘管如此，Elon Musk 在社交媒體上分享了相關主張，暗示 SPLC 策劃了整個活動。

The SPLC has pleaded not guilty and is continuing to ask the court to dismiss the charges and penalize the DOJ.

SPLC 已 pleads not guilty（否認指控），並繼續要求法院撤銷指控並懲罰司法部。
