Baltimore County 女子被控银行诈骗：涉虚报材料申请约250万美元 PPP 贷款
美国司法部发布，Baltimore County 女子 Kara DiPietro 被联邦起诉，面临六项银行诈骗指控。起诉书称，她在薪资保护计划（PPP）贷款申请中作出虚假陈述、夸大资产，涉及金额约250万美元。
PPP 是新冠疫情期间设立的联邦救助计划，由小企业管理局（SBA）管理，通过可免除贷款帮助小企业保留员工、支付工资等开支。检方指控 DiPietro 在贷款申请及相关材料中虚报企业与个人资产信息，以取得本不应获得的贷款。
起诉书仅为指控，DiPietro 在被法庭证明有罪之前推定无罪。案件由马里兰州联邦法院审理，后续程序与量刑将视审理结果而定。
Baltimore County Woman Charged With Bank Fraud: Alleged False Statements in $2.5M PPP Loan Applications
The U.S. Department of Justice announced that Kara DiPietro of Baltimore County, Maryland, has been indicted on six counts of bank fraud. The indictment alleges she made false statements and inflated assets in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan applications involving about $2.5 million.
The PPP was a federal pandemic-relief program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), providing forgivable loans to help small businesses keep workers on payroll. Prosecutors allege DiPietro misrepresented business and personal asset information in her applications to obtain loans she was not entitled to receive.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and DiPietro is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The case is proceeding in federal court in Maryland.
