Trump accused of tax fraud in Mexico
A Mexican government official has filed federal criminal tax fraud charges against Trump in connection with Trump Ocean Resort, a project that folded in 2009.

Martínez filed the criminal complaint as a private citizen. Under the Mexican legal system, private criminal complaints are filed directly to prosecutors, not to the police.
In the letter, Martínez said he’d filed a complaint seeking for federal charges against the GOP presidential nominee so that “once legal requirements demanded by national laws are gathered, the corresponding legal action can be executed,” reported La Jornada newspaper.
The complaint alleges that the development avoided paying taxes in Mexico on pre-development sales, which reportedly topped $32.5 million. Trump’s presidential campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump and his partners, Los Angeles-based developer Irongate Wilshire and Mexican company P.B. Impulsores, allegedly collected $32.5 million from customers before giving up on the project. Trump Ocean Resort started selling the properties in 2006, but folded before construction had started in 2009 after the housing crash.
Martínez singled out Trump in the complaint, saying the slow start in construction evidenced tax fraud “by Mr. Donald Trump against the Mexican state because beyond defrauding investors he also committed fraud by not paying taxes in Mexico for the mercantile operations he took part in.”

Who cares about the money as much as him being not all over every where you look and hear?
It would be better to put him in a nasty Mexican prison for life without parole.

Extradite him, those Mexican jails have good walls.

After he’s litigated into bankruptcy for his phony University, hopefully he can be extradited.
“America is not extraditing their best people, they’re sending tax dodgers, men who brag about sexually assaulting women. They are sending people who hallucinate thousands of dancing Muslims in New Jersey. They are extraditing people who insult POW’s, Gold star families, the disabled and former beauty pageant winners. …..
and some I assume are good people.
I wonder if he’ll wear his “goin’ to Mexico” bobby pins? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/49d6115fb9dda1a89eab8719b927086ded705505b0c141375a3d4bf2615eab45.jpg

maybe Mexico will build his walls for him after all?
hope they don’t forget the little round bar thingies or the donkey from the Molina Arojo bar in Tijuana. (it’s a guy thing – maybe the Miami log cabin republiCONs will send him a jar of vaseline?).
