一起事关千万“救命钱”的诈骗风波,再次引发公益领域震荡。舆论中心的中华少年儿童慈善救助基金会(下称“儿慈会”),是曾多次在“99公益日”中筹款量摘冠的“慈善明星”。
A fraud scandal involving tens of millions of "life-saving" funds has once again shaken the philanthropic sector. The focus of public opinion, the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (hereinafter referred to as "CCTF"), is a "charity star" that has repeatedly topped fundraising efforts during the "99 Charity Day".
9月12日下午,一则“儿慈会工作人员”卷走千万善款的爆料消息不胫而走。爆料称,儿慈会9958河北项目负责人柯善孝以“配捐”为名,诈骗几十名患儿家属资金超千万元。
On the afternoon of September 12, a whistleblower report alleging that an employee of the Children's Charity Association embezzled millions in donations quickly spread. The report claimed that Ke Shanxiao, the person in charge of the 9958 Hebei project under the Children's Charity Association, defrauded dozens of families with sick children out of more than ten million yuan under the guise of "matching donations".
