Fort Bend County Judge KP George found guilty of money laundering, facing potential removal from office after stealing campaign funds for personal use.
A prominent Indian-origin Democrat, Fort Bend County Judge KP George has been found guilty of money laundering after stealing from his donors by making two transfers of $46,500 from his campaign account to his personal account. His attorney claims it was repayment, but he was convicted of a third-degree felony carrying up to 10 years in prison. The trial continues, and his removal from office is pending. George's legal team argues the case was politically motivated.
