MIAMI — An election watchdog organization has filed a second complaint against Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political campaign, alleging a Canadian hedge fund made more than $167,000 in illegal contributions to his operation.
The nonpartisan, Washington, D.C.-based Campaign Legal Center is asking the Federal Election Commission to investigate Toronto-based ECN Capital Corporation for violating federal campaign finance laws that prohibit contributions from foreign nationals and foreign corporations.
The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits the contributions to U.S. elections and also bans foreign nationals from participating in any decision-making process with regard to making a political contribution.
