Allen Weisselberg is expected to receive a sentence of five months at New York City’s Rikers Island jail complex, followed by five years’ probation.
Former Trump Organization finance chief Allen Weisselberg is set to be sentenced Tuesday for tax crimes he committed at the company, after serving as the star witness in a tax-fraud trial that resulted in the conviction of his longtime employer.
Mr. Weisselberg, 75 years old, pleaded guilty in August to 15 felonies for participating in a scheme to compensate certain Trump Organization employees, including himself, with off-the-books benefits to evade taxes.
Mr. Weisselberg also admitted that from 2005 through 2021, he failed to report $1.76 million in benefits to tax authorities.
This unreported compensation came in the form of a rent-free Manhattan apartment, multiple leased Mercedes-Benz cars, home furnishings and private-school tuition for his grandchildren, Manhattan prosecutors said.
