Trump accused of tax fraud

new york - Donald Trump got involved with suspicious tax constructions when he took advantage of his father's wealth. That writes the New York Times Tuesday. The US president has long presented himself as a self-made billionaire, but research from the paper has shown that he has received at least 413 million contemporary dollars (357 million euros) from the real estate empire of Fred C. Trump.

In the nineties this was usually done by taxpicks, but also by clear cases of fraud. According to the NYT, Donald Trump has been receiving large sums of money from his wealthy old lord and mother Mary from an early age. They would have sent a billion dollars to their children, at a very advantageous rate. Normally, much more tax has to be paid for gifts or inheritances.

Donald Tumps lawyer Charles J. Harder called the findings of the New York Times on tax evasion and fraud '100 percent false and extraordinarily defamatory.' According to him, there is no question of being cheated by the president. This left such matters to tax experts and family members.
