Trump has not been tried, although according to the interviewer he knew exactly what was going on. The penalty for the company is expected to be a fine of $1.6 million, or K37 million, which, according to AP, shouldn’t have dramatic consequences for a company of this size.
The main character in the robbery was the former CFO of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, who, in exchange for a prison sentence, admitted to manipulating the company’s ethnicity and hiding $ 1.7 million in statements income tax, or K40 million, which he received on company benefits.
The defendant managed to convince the jury that Weisselberg committed criminal activity on behalf of the company and that the young woman benefited from it. Weisselberg, who has given high-ranking managers perks like luxury cars or free apartments, said in court that none of Donald Trump’s family knew of his illegal actions.
This was also underlined by the 70-year-old former Republican president, who defined the whole affair as a hunt for workers’ wages, backed by a Democrat.
The verdict of the day, however, is the tussle around Trump, who has decided to be re-elected in 2024 run for the president, far from it. In other trials, he has now been accused of illegal secret documents, manipulation of property value or defamation.
