Trump Organization found guilty in US tax fraud trial

Al Jazeera  

The Manhattan District Attorney accused the company of former US President Donald Trump of 15-year-long criminal scheme. Donald Trump’s real estate company has been convicted of carrying out a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud tax authorities, adding to the legal woes facing the former United States president as he campaigns for the office again in 2024. He added that though Trump was not charged in the case, the ruling also would “impact very negatively on the former president”, who has faced a series of legal woes since leaving the White House. The Trump Organization case centred on charges that the company paid personal expenses like free rent and car leases for top executives, including former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, without reporting the income, and paid them bonuses as if they were independent contractors. He also said Trump’s two sons — who took over the company’s operations in 2017 after Trump became president — gave him a raise after they knew about his tax dodge scheme.
