Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby Says She’s Innocent After Federal Indictment on Perjury Charges For Allegedly Making False Statements to the Bank
One of the homes she got was a condominium located on the Gulf of Mexico. The other is an eight-bedroom home near a popular resort. The Baltimore Sun reported that “early withdrawals were permitted under the federal CARES act for people who suffered financial hardship during the coronavirus pandemic.” The Department of Justice says Mosby declarations of hardship weren’t true, saying that she received a $10,000 raise in 2020, bumping her salary to $ $247,955.58.
The indictment alleges that the 41-year-old falsified information on a mortgage loan application in an attempt to downplay federal tax debt and was dishonest about the purpose of the Kissimmee property.
The allegations is that she purchased the home near Disney World as a rental, despite receiving a lower interest rate contingent on the promise to the bank that she would not rent the property.
The documents claim that Mosby entered into an agreement with a vacation home management company to rent out the house before the investigation. Since the investigation begin, Mosby sold the property in question at a $150,000 profit. According to the Osceola County Florida Clerk of Courts, she sold the home for $696,000 on Nov. 2, 2021.
In her first appearance after being indicted, the two-term Baltimore state’s attorney said, “I wanted the people of Baltimore to hear it from me: I’ve done nothing wrong. I did not defraud anyone to take money from my retirement savings. I did not lie on my mortgage application.”
