A New York Supreme Court jury reached the verdict in the case which could cost the Trump Org. up to $1.6 million in fines after two days of deliberation following a monthlong trial that included convicted former Trump Org. chief finance officer Allen Weisselberg as a star witness.
Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorneys Office said the company criminally dodged taxes and suppressed payroll costs by lavishing its executives with unreported perks, such as leases on luxury cars and apartments.
