Trump Organisation and its CFO indicted on tax fraud charges
The Hindu
The company and Allen Weisselberg cheated the State and city out of taxes by conspiring to pay senior executives off the books by way of lucrative fringe benefits and other means.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s company and its longtime finance chief were charged on Thursday in what prosecutors called a “sweeping and audacious” tax fraud scheme in which the executive collected more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation, including apartment rent, car payments and school tuition. Mr. Trump himself was not charged, but prosecutors noted that he signed some of the compensation checks at the center of the alleged scheme. It is the first criminal case to come out New York authorities' two-year investigation into the former president's business dealings.More Related News
