The Manhattan District Attorney’s office, has accused Allen H. Weisselberg, a top executive in the Trump Organization, of avoiding taxes on $1.7 million in perks that should have been reported as income. Mr. Weisselberg, Donald Trump’s long-serving and trusted chief financial officer, faced grand larceny, tax fraud and other charges in a 15-count indictment implemented on Thursday, July 1.

The Trump Organization was charged with running a 15-year scheme to help its executives evade taxes by compensating them with fringe benefits that were hidden from the authorities.

Mr. Weisselberg pleaded not guilty.

Subsequent to the indictment, the Trump Organization removed Mr. Weisselberg’s name from all Trump Organization positions.
