An embarrassing sight for Donald Trump. The trial for fraud and tax evasion of the Trump Organization, the family business of the former Republican president, which is not personally targeted by this criminal component, opens on Monday 24 October in New York. This trial, which will begin with the selection of the jurors, concerns the allegations of irregularities in the company’s accounts since 2005, and the concealment from the tax authorities of the compensation received by the top management of the group.
Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, 75, pleaded guilty to 15 counts of fraud and tax evasion involving $ 1.76 million in undeclared revenue between 2005 and 2021. Donald Trump is accused of taking advantage of undeclared in-kind benefits, including an apartment in an upscale Manhattan neighborhood, renting two Mercedes for him and his wife, or cash for his vacation.
