Federal authorities have arrested dozens of people over a college bribery scandal, that involved wealthy parents, Hollywood celebrities, and prominent business leaders, cheating their children into elite American universities.
Thirty-three parents were charged in the Justice Department’s ‘largest ever college admissions prosecution’, with more indictments expected to come.
Andrew E. Lelling, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts said, “the real victims in this case are the hardworking students,” who were displaced in the admissions process by “far less qualified students and their families who simply bought their way in.”
