Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre was mentioned in a Mississippi audit in which the state alleged that a nonprofit group caught in an embezzlement scheme used federal money to pay the former player more than $1 million for speaking engagements in which he was not present at the events.

Shad White, the Mississippi state auditor, said his team identified $94 million in questionable spending by the Mississippi Department of Human Services, including payments for sports activities that appear to have no clear connection to help those in need throughout the state.

Favre is not facing criminal charges and the report lists the payments to him as “questioned” costs. White said “questioned” costs means “auditors either saw clear misspending or could not verify the money had been lawfully spent.” Farve has not released any statement on the case.
