Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, 75, was sentenced to five months in prison for helping the company commit tax fraud.
Weisselberg has worked for Trump since the 1970s. At trial, he pleaded guilty to all fifteen counts. Thus, he avoided the maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. As part of the ruling, he has already transferred around €2 million in back taxes, fines and interest.
Among other things, Weisselberg admitted to defrauding the company by keeping additional income, a Manhattan apartment, and cars for himself, and his grandchildren’s school fees off the holding company’s books. Trump himself is not on trial in this case.
