The Trump Organization and its chief financial officer will be indicted this Thursday

Prosecutors in New York are scheduled to file criminal charges this Thursday against the Trump Organization, former President Donald Trump and its chief financial officer, Allen Wisselberg, for their tax crimes, according to the WSJ, citing sources close to the case.

According to the newspaper, the accusation will refer to the benefits in kind granted to Weisselberg, a loyalist among Trump’s followers, and that supposedly were not declared to the treasury.

The note notes that prosecutors have tried to convince the CFO to cooperate with the investigation, according to multiple sources. The financial director of the Trump Organization would have rejected those proposals, according to the newspaper.

Weisselberg will be charged with charges linked to tax evasion, after the Prosecutor’s Office has studied for months whether he and other company employees illegally avoided paying taxes on some compensation they received such as vehicles, apartments or tuition in private schools.

The newspaper indicates that an exclusive focus on fringe benefits would be unusual, according to former prosecutors. “It is rare to charge an individual or companies for not paying taxes on employee benefits only, although such charges are used as part of larger cases,” the note said.

However, if prosecutors can show that the Trump Organization and its executives have consistently avoided paying taxes, they will be able to investigate more serious charges alleging this scheme, lawyers told the WSJ.

Weisselberg’s former daughter-in-law, Jennifer Weisselberg, told CNN on Monday that she is ready to testify to the grand jury that the prosecution of Donald Trump is working.

This woman has already provided prosecutors with a large number of financial documents about her ex-husband, who is also an employee of the Trump Organization, according to

“My knowledge of the documents and my voice connect the flow of money from various banks and from personal finances that are leaking directly to the Trump Organization,” he told reporters in April, after investigators collected three boxes from his apartment. that allegedly contained information about her. your ex-husband’s bank accounts and credit cards, as well as his net worth and tax returns.

The accusations would be the first resulting from investigations into the Trump Organization that have been open for three years in the Big Apple and that the former president has always denounced as part of a “witch hunt” against him.

The WSJ report is scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday afternoon.

The former US president and members of his family need not worry, at least initially, about prosecutors who have been investigating the real estate company, which also manages luxury hotels and golf clubs, for two years.

Trump’s lawyers met Thursday, June 24 with top prosecutors in Vance’s office to try to persuade them not to indict his company, the New York Times reported last Friday, citing several people familiar with the meeting.

Investigations into the former US president’s company have accelerated in recent months, with several executives being called to testify before a grand jury in preparation for possible indictments.

The investigations cover possible tax fraud, insurance and other criminal offenses, allegedly committed before Trump’s arrival in the White House.

These could include inflated appraisals, unjustified allowances, and duplicate accounting, ultimately not paying or paying very little taxes for years, as has emerged.

The Manhattan prosecutor, Cyrus Vance, achieved a great triumph last February, when he gained access to years of Trump’s tax returns after a long legal battle in which the Supreme Court ended up rejecting the arguments of the former president that those documents be keep confidential

The Prosecutor’s Office has also been investigating the secret payments of money that the Trump electoral campaign made to the porn actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her from making public an alleged sexual relationship with the then presidential candidate, since they could violate the legislation of the New York State.

In May, the attorney general of New York, Letitia James, who was developing a parallel civil investigation into Trump’s company, announced that she was joining the criminal avenue opened by Vance.

If confirmed, the accusations would be a setback for Trump, who hints that he could be a candidate in the 2024 presidential elections. He is still very present on the political scene, he is still the strong man of the Republican Party and last week he resumed the large rallies that they have characterized him.

Trump resigned from day-to-day management of the company while in the White House, but it’s unclear what role he now plays in the scheme, which he continues to own through a trust run by his older sons and Weisselberg.

The former Republican president has at all times denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly denounced that the investigations are the result of political persecution by Democratic prosecutors.
