Weiselberg pleaded guilty to 15 felonies and admitted failing to pay taxes on $1.7 million in income, including luxury perks such as rent and utilities for a Manhattan apartment, leases for a pair of Mercedes-Benz cars and private tuition school for his grandchildren. He admitted that he withheld these benefits from his accountant to understate his income and that he knowingly omitted the income from his personal tax returns. Weiselberg answered a series of specific questions about the plan from the judge in a hushed and barely audible tone, repeatedly saying, “Yes, your honor.” As part of the deal, he will pay nearly $2 million in taxes, interest and penalties and waive any right to appeal. Judge Juan Mercan said Weiselberg will be sentenced after the Trump Organization’s trial. He said the deal was for a five-month sentence followed by five years in prison. The judge warned Weisselberg if he does not comply with all the terms of the plea agreement, “I will be free to impose any lawful sentence which in your case includes 5 to 15 years in prison.” The plea puts him at odds with the Trump Organization, where he worked for 40 years, and his testimony could hurt the company if he goes to trial on related tax charges, as scheduled in October. Weisselberg has been fiercely loyal to the Trump family, having worked for them since 1973. However, even testifying against the Weisselberg company will not implicate any members of the Trump family, who have not been accused of wrongdoing. If the Trump Organization is convicted, it could be ordered to pay back taxes and fines, but no people will go to jail. “Today Allen Weiselberg admitted in court that he used his position at the Trump Organization to punish taxpayers and enrich himself,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “This plea agreement directly implicates the Trump Organization in a wide range of criminal activities and requires Weisselberg to provide invaluable testimony in the upcoming trial against the company. Additionally, thanks to the incredibly hard work and dedication of the team prosecuting this case, Weisselberg will spend time behind bars. We look forward to making our case in court against the Trump Organization,” Bragg said. Weisselberg will likely serve time at Rikers Island, New York’s notorious prison. With a plea of ​​good behavior, one-third of the sentence could be thrown out, meaning Weisselberg could end up serving about 100 days behind bars. None of the charges Weisselberg faces carry mandatory prison terms, but the most serious of the charges carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.
