businessman were indicted Monday on charges the coach took $1.5 million in
bribes in exchange for helping the businessman get his two sons into the Ivy
League school as recruited fencers.
Peter Brand, 67, who was fired by Harvard last year, and Jie “Jack” Zhao,
61, of Potomac, Maryland, face a charge of conspiracy to commit federal
programs bribery. They were arrested last month.
The indictment by a federal grand jury in Boston comes more than a year
after a newspaper reported that Brand sold his home for nearly double its
assessed value to Zhao.
Zhao also paid for Brand’s car, helped cover Brand’s son’s college
tuition as well as the costs for renovating a new residence for Brand,
prosecutors said. |
