A state audit found that a nonprofit group used federal money to pay the former player more than $1 million for speaking engagements.
The Mississippi state auditor said his team identified $94 million in questionable spending by the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
According to the audit, Favre received payments from the Mississippi Community Education Center, which had contracts with the Department of Human Services to spend money through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Favre Enterprises was paid $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018 for speeches at three events, according to the audit.
It turns out, Favre did not speak at those events. He wasn’t even there.
Favre is not facing criminal charges.
The report also found that pro wrestling legend Ted DiBiase and his sons Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase received payments over travel costs for events they never performed in.
A former Human Services director and five others were indicted on state charges of embezzling $4 million.
