The Wildensteins, known for their secretive art collection, were accused of using trusts and shell companies to conceal their wealth. The court ruled that the family engaged in a sophisticated and extensive tax fraud. This verdict follows years of legal battles that have exposed the family's financial affairs. Seven other defendants, including family members and financial advisers, also faced charges.
