New York prosecutors on Thursday charged the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, with a 15-year alleged tax scheme that marked the first criminal case against the former President Donald Trump’s business affairs.
In a Manhattan courtroom, Prosecutors described a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme involving off-the-books payments to employees at the Trump Organization. Executives took perks like car leases and Manhattan apartments without the company or the recipient paying taxes, prosecutors said.
The indictment alleges a “scheme to defraud” tax authorities at the federal, state and city level in New York through tax evasion that occurred since at least 2005.
THE CFO Allen Weisselberg, allegedly received more than $1.76 million in off-the-books compensation, including apartment rent, car payments and school tuition.
