The New York attorney general’s office is stepping up its efforts to detain the former president Donald Trump responsible for unpaid taxes on many of his properties.
A recent court filing revealed that the AG’s office is targeting 13 properties owned by Trump, including his Seven Springs estate and the Westchester Golf Club.
According to a report from Insider, Attorney General Letizia Giacomo is leading the charge, seeking to recover millions of dollars in unpaid taxes and penalties.
The lawsuit represents a significant escalation in the long-standing feud between Trump and the state of New York.
The properties in question span New York State, ranging from luxury properties to commercial buildings.
These include 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower Triplex Apartment, Trump Tower Commercial Space, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Trump World Tower, Trump Park Avenue, 6 East 57th Street, Trump Plaza, Trump Parc, Trump International Hotel & Tower and Trump Building.
These properties have come under particular scrutiny due to allegations of unpaid taxes and other financial irregularities.

The ongoing investigations cast a shadow over Trump’s business empire, with legal battles looming on multiple fronts. In addition to the legal proceedings, there is the possibility that some of Trump’s properties could face a sheriff’s sale if tax debts remain unpaid, the report said.
This could result in the loss of ownership of these properties, further complicating Trump’s financial situation.
The ongoing investigations into Trump’s business practices have posed legal challenges to the former president since he left office.
Trump’s legal team has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation politically motivated.
The outcome of these legal battles could have significant implications for the former president’s business empire and political future.
