MURDAUGH PAL CAUGHT IN MAID INSURANCE SCAM

-

JUNKIE lawyer Alex Murdaugh’s attorney buddy Cory Fleming is accused of helping the South

Carolina scion pocket major moolah meant for his late housekeepe­r’s kin in a $4 million insurance scam!

Fleming, 53, was indicted on 18 charges related to his handling of a wrongful death claim for the family of Gloria Satterfiel­d, who suffered a fatal fall in 2018 at the drugaddled bigshot’s Colleton County hunting lodge.

Prosecutor­s charge Fleming “surreptiti­ously” delivered $3.4 million to his longtime pal and kept $140,000 for himself, while Satterfiel­d’s sons didn’t see a dime!

Murdaugh, 53, was also socked with four new charges, bringing his total to 75. He remains behind bars on $7 million bail after allegedly enlisting a hitman to murder him in 2021 in a botched attempt to leave his own $10 million life insurance payout to his last living son, Buster.

Prosecutor­s say the stunt came four months after money-challenged Murdaugh’s wife, Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22, were murdered.

Murdaugh has since copped to an opioid addiction and faces accusation­s he swiped more than $1 million from his former law firm.

He and Fleming insist they’re innocent of all charges, but Murdaugh remains a person of interest in Maggie’s and Paul’s slayings.
