密歇根州总检察长追加起诉 Fay Beydoun：涉嫌挪用2000万美元州拨款再添三项重罪
Lansing—密歇根州总检察长 Dana Nessel 11月13日宣布，62岁的 Fay Beydoun 当天在 Farmington Hills 第47区法院过堂，就涉嫌窃取一笔2000万美元州立法拨款再添三项重罪指控。这笔拨款授予 Global Link International（GLI）。Beydoun 今年5月已被控16项重罪。
新增指控称：2023年7月，Beydoun 花费逾1万美元 GLI 资金购买从未打算供 GLI 使用的高档家具；2023年8月，她用10万美元 GLI 资金购买 Michigan Founders Fund 会员资格；2025年7月，她从 GLI 转出50万美元，为自己应诉刑事指控的律师费买单。
Beydoun 当天被控两项「从个人处盗窃」罪（每项为最高10年重罪，涉及 GLI 为其法律费用付款一事与被指为个人目的的 Founders Fund 捐款），以及一项「侵占盗窃」罪（最高5年重罪，涉及购买家具）。
Nessel 说，这批新指控反映了其办公室持续的调查工作，也显示 Beydoun 被指用州拨款资金支出的范围更广；此案仍是金融犯罪部门的头等优先事项，办公室期待将此案送上审判。
据总检察长办公室介绍，Beydoun 当年通过2022年第166号公共法案取得一笔「密歇根州增益拨款」，用于在 Oakland County 建立并运营一个全球商业加速器，拨款由密歇根州经济发展公司（MEDC）管理；她取得拨款时是 MEDC 执行委员会成员。检方指控，没有任何企业经 GLI 的工作迁入密歇根州，她被指把资金用于个人获利，并维持55万美元年薪。总检察长办公室2024年对该拨款展开调查；MEDC 在财务违规报告出现后于2025年3月18日终止了这笔拨款；2025年9月，总检察长办公室冻结了与 Beydoun 关联银行账户中逾630万美元拨款资金。
总检察长办公室提醒，刑事指控只是指控，被告在被证明有罪之前推定无罪。
Michigan Attorney General Adds Three Felony Charges Against Fay Beydoun in $20 Million Grant Case
LANSING — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on November 13 that Fay Beydoun, 62, of Farmington Hills, was arraigned that day in the 47th District Court in Farmington Hills on three additional felony charges related to the alleged theft of funds from a $20 million state legislative grant awarded to Global Link International (GLI). Beydoun was previously charged in May with 16 felonies.
The new charges allege that in July 2023 Beydoun spent more than $10,000 in GLI funds to purchase high-end furniture never intended for use by GLI; in August 2023 she used $100,000 in GLI funds to purchase membership to the Michigan Founders Fund; and in July 2025 she transferred $500,000 from GLI to fund her legal defense against criminal charges.
Beydoun was arraigned on two counts of Larceny from a Person, each a 10-year felony, concerning the alleged use of GLI funds for her legal expenses and for a donation to the Michigan Founders Fund alleged to be for personal reasons, and one count of Larceny by Conversion, a 5-year felony, for the alleged use of GLI funds to purchase furniture.
Nessel said the newly charged allegations reflect the continued investigative efforts ongoing in her office and a broader extent of Beydoun's alleged expenses made with state grant funding, adding that the case remains a top priority within the department's Financial Crimes Division and that the office looks forward to bringing the case to trial.
According to the Attorney General's office, Beydoun secured a Michigan enhancement grant within Public Act 166 of 2022 to establish and operate a global business accelerator in Oakland County, with the grant administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC); at the time she served on the MEDC Executive Committee. It is alleged that no business relocated to Michigan through GLI's efforts, and that she used the funds for personal gain while maintaining a $550,000 annual salary. The department opened its investigation in 2024; the MEDC terminated the grant on March 18, 2025, following reports of financial irregularities; and in September 2025 the department froze more than $6.3 million in grant funds held in bank accounts connected to Beydoun.
The Attorney General's office notes that a criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
