New judicial proceedings for Donald Trump.
The trial in which the former US president is accused of having inflated the assets of his companies with the aim of defrauding banks and insurance companies has opened in Manhattan civil court.
The tycoon was in the courtroom and, before the hearing, the attorney general of New York, Letitia James, was resolute: «Donald Trump and the other co-defendants have committed persistent and repeated fraud. Last week we demonstrated this in our motion for summary judgment. Today we will prove our other charges. My message – he concluded – is simple: no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you might have, no one is above the law and the law will prevail."
