Parent In Admissions Scheme Faces More Charges

BOSTON (AP) – Additional charges are being added for the latest parent accused in the sweeping college admissions bribery scheme.  Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that Xiaoning Sui faces new charges of international money laundering and additional fraud charges. She was charged Sept. 17 with a single count of conspiracy and fraud.  Sui is accused of paying $400,000 to get her son into the University of California, Los Angeles, as a fake soccer recruit. New charging documents say the payments came from Canada, where Sui lives.  Authorities say Sui was arrested in Spain last week and is being extradited to Boston. It was unclear if she has an attorney.  Her son was admitted to UCLA in 2018 with a 25% scholarship. UCLA says it took “immediate corrective action” when it learned of the case.
