Mishandled Funds Alleged at Terror Charity

MINEOLA, N.Y. (CN) – A father-son duo treated the American Center for Civil Justice \”as their own personal piggy bank,\” and siphoned off $20 million, a former board member claims in court.
In the complaint he filed on Dec. 29 in Nassau County Supreme Court, Michael Engelberg says that Rabbi Eliezer Perr controls the management and board of the American Center for Civil Justice Inc., or ACCJ, with his son Jedidiah.
Engelberg says he founded the ACCJ with the rabbi in 1996 to represent \”the victims of some of the deadliest state sponsored terrorist attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah in recent history.\”
