Former president of

the United States Donald Trump

(2017-2021) will have to pay a

fine of more than

$350 million for several cases of fraud in his family business, the

Trump Organization,

a judge in New York ruled this Friday

.

Magistrate

Arthur Engoron

also limited the former president's ability to do business in the state for the next three years. Trump is expected to appeal the decision.

"The Court hereby bars Donald Trump...

from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York

for a period of three years," Judge Arthur Engoron wrote in his ruling, ordering to the magnate the payment of

354,868,768 dollars.

The verdict, highly anticipated by the media in the United States, was delayed for more than a week, as it was scheduled to be announced at the end of January.
