Jeremiah Wright's daughter Jeri Wright, 47 was indicted today in a federal investigation over a money laundering case of a fraudulent use of grant funds for the nonprofit organization We Are Our Brother's Keeper.

Jeri, the daughter of President Barack Obama's former controversial pastor, was invicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury for helping a police officer and her husband convert about $28,000 in fake paychecks from the officer's nonprofit to the officer's personal use, according to the Department of Justice. That money had to be used to train workers in the nonprofit but instead $20,000 of that amount went to banks accounts controlled by the couple Regina R. Evans and Ronald W. Evans Jr.

Wright faces two charges of money laundering, two counts for making false statements to federal law enforcement officers, and seven counts for giving false testimony before a grand jury, in relation to the investigation of the alleged money laundering case.

"Wright, a close friend and associate of the Evanses, allegedly received three checks in November 2009, totaling approximately $28,000, purporting to be for work related to the grant, and approximately $20,000 of the proceeds of the checks was allegedly deposited back into accounts controlled by the Evanses," the Department of Justice informed in a press statement. See the full statement here.

"The indictment further alleges that Wright made false statements to federal law enforcement officers when she was interviewed on various occasions in 2012, and that on Nov. 7, 2012, Wright made materially false statements to the grand jury."

The maximum penalty for making a false statement to a federal law enforcement officer is up to five years in prison. The penalty for providing false testimony before a grand jury is up to five years in prison.

An indictment is merely an accusation, Wright is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
