US president accused of tax evasion in 2006 development in Baja, Mexico



The federal Attorney General’s office (PGR) will hear new evidence today in a case against United States President Donald Trump in connection with a failed luxury resort project in Tijuana, Baja California.

Jaime Martínez Veloz, the former head of the Commission for Dialogue with the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico, will present documents that he says prove that neither Trump nor his business partners had set up a trust that gave them the legal right to develop the abandoned project known as Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico.

Snip: ( the karma part)...Martínez Veloz told the newspaper Milenio that his motivation for filing his complaint were the insults Trump directed at the Mexican people during his 2016 presidential campaign.

“I requested information about whether Trump, Ivanka Trump or Irongate . . . had applied for a permit to establish a trust, which is the only way they could sell land that’s within 100 kilometers of the border and 50 kilometers of the coast, which can’t be sold to foreigners,” he said.

“There is no record that these people applied to establish a trust or that they are part of a trust,” Martínez added.

The hotel in Toronto went under. Angry buyers saying he lied to them, etc. and they want their money back.

The one in Vancouver BC is with a Malaysian partner who turns out to be connected to bad boys back in Malaysia.

There will be lawsuits against Trump Inc. for decades.

that wall of hate and division and tribalism they've been building within our society since Nixon/Agnew (within my recollection).

Their crony politicians, with the faithful aid of billions of dollars from the corporate world plus Faux News and talk radio have completely changed America.

That's the wall we need to tear down........ ...........
