Daniel R. AlonsoThe Forbes article, “How a Trump organization indictment could play out in court,” discussed criminal indictments against the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg and what it means if a corporation is indicted. Alonso noted, “Criminal cases against companies function similarly to lawsuits in civil court, with an attorney usually appearing in the business’s stead. If there's going to be some major decision made, like a guilty plea, the lawyer will have to get a resolution of the board of directors authorizing him to plead guilty on behalf of the corporation. What happens if a company pleads or is found guilty on criminal charges? Obviously, corporations can’t go to jail. And judges do not have the power to dissolve them.”
