Donald Trump New York attorney general announces civil lawsuit against Trump and family
Etats-Unis : la famille Trump poursuivie pour avoir gonflé sa fortune
Selon la procureure de New York, la Trump Organization a sciemment exagéré la valeur de ses biens, trompant des banques, les assurances et le fisc américain. Une fraude évaluée à 250 millions de dollars.

Le reproche court depuis des années : Donald Trump n’était pas l’entrepreneur milliardaire qu’il prétendait être. Il est un héritier qui n’a cessé de gonfler artificiellement sa fortune.

Move by Letitia James comes after culmination of years-long investigation of financial practices at the Trump Organization.
The attorney general of New York state has filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump and members of his family, the culmination of a years-long investigation of financial practices at the Trump Organization.
Letitia James announced the suit in New York on Wednesday in a move that is sure to increase consternation with the former US president, his family and his inner circle about the legal predicament he finds himself in.
Announcing the suit before reporters in New York, James said: “The complaint demonstrates that Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and to cheat the system, thereby cheating all of us. He did this with the help of the other defendants.”
The New York suit represents an escalation of the serious legal jeopardy Trump already faces on numerous fronts, including possible indictment over his retention of classified records after his time in power and multiple investigations of his attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
A statement said James’ suit was filed “against Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, senior management and involved entities for engaging in years of financial fraud to obtain a host of economic benefits.
“The lawsuit alleges that Donald Trump, with the help of his children Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, and senior executives of the Trump Organization, falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms than would otherwise have been available to the company, to satisfy continuing loan covenants, induce insurers to provide insurance coverage for higher limits and lower premiums, and to gain tax benefits, among other things.”
Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump were all deposed during the state investigation. Lire la suite »
