Trump organisation executive chief charged with tax evasion

Allen Weisselberg, 73, surrendered to New York authorities on Thursday, after being charged with tax evasion for revenues worth $1.7m.

The charges stem from what prosecutors described as a <x0) illegal, inclusive and bold payment scheme”.

On the other hand, no charges have been filed for Trump, yet New York has already severed business ties with the former president convicted twice.

The Trump organisation is a family holder that owns hotels, golf clubs and other properties, and the cornerstone of a global brand that included book offerings, television shows and so on.

Criminal charges are the first to be raised by long investigations into alleged fraud by both prosecutors.
