Vancouver businessman David Sidoo faces an additional charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering for his alleged role in a college admissions scandal in the United States.
In a new indictment from the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts on Tuesday, Sidoo is accused of wiring about $100,000 in January 2013 from an account in Canada to an account in California.
Sidoo is among 19 parents, including actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Gianulli, who are facing the money-laundering charge in the new indictment. Sidoo, 59-year-old former Canadian Football League player and well-known philanthropist, has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud in connection with the scandal.
The new indictment alleges that the person who took the SATs and the high school test is Mark Riddell, a Florida prep-school administrator who has also been charged in the case.
