Trump fined $355 mn, banned from NY business in fraud trial

13 Sept 10:42 Key points summarised by AI

A New York judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million for fraud and banned him from running companies in the state for three years.
Trump was found liable for unlawfully inflating his wealth and manipulating property values to secure favorable bank loans and insurance terms.
The ruling, which also fined his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr. over $4 million each, delivers a significant blow to Trump's business empire, with his defense vowing to appeal.
Judge Arthur Engoron justified the penalties by citing Trump's "complete lack of contrition and remorse," amidst Trump's claims that the cases are politically motivated.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
