Former US President Donald Trump has been formally arrested. His arrest will last until the indictment. Accordingly, in the near future, the former American leader will be able to leave the court freely. It is reported by CNN.
In addition to this, he was previously released from almost all the procedures that accompany the arrest. In particular, he will not be handcuffed or photographed for attaching photos to the case file.
What is Donald Trump accused of?
Let us remind you that a grand jury in New York voted to indict the former American leader. He is accused of forgery of financial documents of the Trump Organization.
At the same time, what kind of charges will be brought against Trump is still unknown, since they are kept secret. However, in the media information appeared that the list of accusations exceeds three dozen points.
In addition to this, document forgery is considered a misdemeanor in the USA and generally does not result in imprisonment. But in the event that the jury decided that there was falsification of documents for concealment, then Trump could end up in prison for up to four years.
In turn, Donald Trump himself stated that he did not count on a fair investigation, as he considered all the accusations to be an "attack of the left forces" seeking to prevent his re-election as president in 2024.
