Trump Organization Convicted in Court for Fraud and Forgery

The New York District Attorney's Office in Manhattan found the Trump Organization guilty of fraud, falsifying documents and reports of business and financial activities, and tax fraud.

After about 3 years of investigating the tax documents and financial activities of the Trump Organization (“Trump Organization”) and all of its subsidiaries, especially Trump Corporation and Trump Payroll Corporation [the firm that was responsible for Trump Corporation payroll], the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office found the Trump Organization guilty of all 17 charges against it. The main defendant in the case was former Trump Organization CFO Alan Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty and testified against the firm.

He, who himself was sentenced to prison and fined for his part in these crimes, revealed to the court all the secrets and tricks of the Trump Organization’s financial and tax fraud and noted about the tricks used in connection with it, “Everything the Trump Organization has done over these 13 years with respect to tax matters is fraud, lies and greed, and the court holds the Trump Organization responsible for this long-term criminal behavior.”

In addition to the case in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which convicted the Trump organization and ordered it to pay $1.6 million, Trump and his children also have an open court case in the New York City Attorney’s Office, the subject of which is fraud.
