The actress Lori Loughlin is free on bail of $ 1 million after appearing in federal court in Los Angeles on Wednesday in connection with his alleged to participate in an admission program to the elite college.

Like her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, who is also suspected of the scam, was allowed to install his house as collateral to guarantee the bond, according to TMZ.

The actress was allowed to keep her passport for her work on a British Columbia film project, reported NBC News. She will have to return her passport in December, once her projects in Canada are completed, according to TMZ.

Loughlin and her husband are among dozens of people that the FBI says allegedly paid up to $ 6 million in bribes for their children to be accepted into schools such as Yale and Georgetown.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the couple is accused of conspiracy to commit postal fraud and honest courier services.

Loughlin and Giannulli would have have agreed to pay $ 500,000 for the hiring of their two daughters to join the crew of the University of Southern California – although no teenager rowed.

A A cooperating witness told the parents that their eldest daughter's academic qualifications were "at or just below the lowest admission criteria".

Loughlin, who is Becky in Full House and in many Hallmark Channel films, will be famous to appear again in Boston on March 29.

A spokesperson for Hallmark said the network had not decided on the possible consequences of his arrest on the program.

"Crown Media Family Networks is aware of the situation and is following the situation closely," spokeswoman Pam Slay told the New York Daily News.
