Former US President Donald Trump confirmed today, Saturday, that he intends to appeal the ruling issued against him in a civil fraud case, in which he was ordered to pay a fine estimated at approximately 355 million US dollars, and to be banned from assuming management of any company in the state of New York for 3 years.
Trump said, in statements to American media: “We will appeal (the ruling).”
In his first comment on the ruling, Trump said in a statement: “The judicial system in the state of New York, and America as a whole, is being attacked by partisan, deceived, and biased judges and prosecutors. I have helped New York City in its worst times, and now, while it is being engulfed by the politics of (US President) “Joe Biden, who is violent towards immigrants, the radicals are doing everything they can to expel me.”
According to the text of the ruling, issued by Judge Arthur Engoron, “The court prohibits Donald Trump from assuming any responsible or administrative position in any company in New York or any legal entity in the state, for a period of 3 years.”
Engoron also ordered Trump to pay a fine of $354,868,768.
The court ruling also included a decision banning Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., from serving as officers or directors of any company in New York, for two years.
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit accusing former US President Trump and his companies of overstating his net worth by up to $3.6 billion annually over nearly 10 years, in order to deceive bankers into giving him better loan terms. .
