Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, was formally accused by New York prosecutors Thursday of participating in a years-long scheme that allowed him and other company executives to receive off-the-books compensation, benefits for which he allegedly neglected to pay taxes on while also raking in tens of thousands in federal and state refunds.
In a criminal indictment unsealed Thursday, prosecutors called Weisselberg one of the largest individual beneficiaries of the alleged scheme, and accused him of taking steps over the course of more than 15 years to conceal nearly $1.8 million in compensation from tax authorities.
