Former US President, Donald Trump’s company and its finance chief have been charged with tax-related crimes.
Allen Weisselberg, 73, turned himself in to New York authorities yesterday.
He was later charged with concealing One point seven million dollars’ worth of income.
Prosecutors say the 15-year-long scheme helped executives evade taxes by giving benefits, such as rent and school fees, that were hidden from the authorities.
Lawyers for the firm and Mr. Weisselberg have pleaded not guilty to tax fraud.
No charges were brought against Mr. Trump personally, though prosecutors said he had signed some of the cheques at the centre of the case.
