Allen Weisselberg, a longtime executive for Donald Trump's business empire, was taken into custody on Tuesday to begin serving a five-month jail term for dodging taxes on $US1.7 million ($2.4 million) in job perks — a punishment the judge who sentenced him said was probably too lenient for a case “driven entirely by greed".Weisselberg, 75, was promised the short sentence in August when he agreed to plead guilty to 15 tax crimes and to be a witness against the Trump Organisation, where he worked since the mid-1980s.His testimony helped convict the former president’s company - where he had served as chief financial officer - of tax fraud.
