THE LAWYER FOR FORMER UNM ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PAUL KREBS SAYS HIS CLIENT DID DONATE 25-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE UNIVERSITY AFTER A GOLF JUNKET TO SCOTLAND. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS KREBS DONATED THAT MONEY ONLY AFTER A UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR SAID IT WOULD RESOLVE THE SITUATION.
THE LAWYER, GENE GALLEGOS, SAYS KREBS WAS ENCOURAGED TO MAKE THE DONATION TO MATCH WHAT THE SCHOOL USED IN PUBLIC FUNDS FOR THE 2015 FUNDRAISING TRIP. BUT DAVID HARRIS, UNM’S EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATION, DENIES THE CLAIM.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE IS NOW INVESTIGATING KREBS FOR ALLEGED MONEY LAUNDERING, EMBEZZLEMENT AND FRAUD.
