The powerful American gun lobby and its former leader Wayne LaPierre are guilty of violating New York laws with their spending sprees with donor funds.
The jury determined this after five days of deliberations, followed by a six-week trial.
The American media reported it.
The National Rifle Association is being held accountable for misusing its charitable assets under rules governing nonprofits.
LaPierre is guilty of violating his obligations towards the association by enriching himself with funds that did not belong to him.
