“This individual led a sprawling and violent drug trafficking ring that wreaked havoc in Harlem,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our continued prosecution of the dozens of defendants involved in this case makes clear that we will use every tool at our disposal to dismantle these types of groups in any form they take. I thank our team of prosecutors for their work on this complex case.”
Allen H. Weisselberg, once one of Donald J. Trump’s most loyal lieutenants, was sentenced on Tuesday to five months at the Rikers Island jail complex for his role in a tax fraud scheme that led to the conviction of the Trump Organization last year.
“In Manhattan, you have to play by the rules no matter who you are or who you work for. Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg used his high-level position to secure lavish work perks such as a rent-free luxury Manhattan apartment, multiple Mercedes Benz automobiles and private school tuition for his grandchildren – all without paying required taxes,” said District Attorney Bragg.
A woman sprayed air freshener at her roommate in a Manhattan shelter before she allegedly stabbed her to death, officials said Monday. Charmaine Crossman, 42, was arrested in December after allegedly stabbing Victoria Goode, 27, several times in the Project Renewal New Providence Women’s Shelter on East 45th Street, police said. They’d been living together for about a month before the deadly encounter, prosecutors said when announcing the indictment filed against Crossman. “New Yorkers living in our shelter system deserve to reside safely and should not have to fear for their lives,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. “This was a tragic incident and I thank our law enforcement partners for their collaboration on this case.”
