Trump accused of tax fraud in Mexico

Source: The Hill

A Mexican government official filed a federal criminal tax fraud complaint Friday against Donald Trump in Tijuana, Mexico, related to Trump Ocean Resort, a real estate project that folded in 2009.

Jaime Martínez Veloz, a former member of Mexico’s Congress who is now a mid-level official with the Mexican federal government, also sent a letter to the mayor of Tijuana, asking city hall to determine if any local regulations were violated by the failed development.

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.

Here's probably the most dangerous, given what he may try to do to the U.S. bond market if the Rethugs push us into a technical default next year (a distinct possibility, unfortunately):

Singer, btw, was Narco Rubio's campaign chairman, and is very interested in controlling GOP politics.

SURELY not *OUR* Donald Trump, GOPee nominee for Prezdent! He's much too *SMART* to commit tax fraud--just ask him! Must be another guy with the same name.
