Scottish Lawmaker: Reasonable Grounds to Suspect Trump or His Associates Have Been Involved in Serious Crime
February 27, 2020 at 09:38 AM ET
By David Badash
A Member of the Scottish Parliament is asking his fellow ministers to investigate President Donald Trumps deals through which he acquired his properties in Scotland, including Trumps two multi-million dollar losing golf courses. President Trump prizes his Turnberry, Scotland resort, but reports that the American president is using the U.S. federal government to help keep it afloat have dogged him.
MSP Patrick Harvie said there were reasonable grounds for suspecting that the US president, or people he is connected with, have been involved in serious crime,' The Scotsman, Scotlands national newspaper reports.
Harvie is urging lawmakers to seek an apply for an unexplained wealth order from a Scottish court, which would allow them to learn how the U.S. president bankrolled his multimillion acquisitions of land and property in his mothers homeland.
An unexplained wealth order (UWO) is a mechanism which allows the Scottish government to target suspected corrupt foreign officials who have potentially laundered stolen money through the UK.

If a suspected corrupt foreign official, or their family, cannot show a legitimate source for their riches, the Scottish government can seize properties.

You'll find most all his "properties" have huge industrial washing machines. That money isn't going to clean itself.

(14,481 posts)our SCOTUS may not act in timely manner, appropriately, or at all on Trump's finances. Which means, once we get Trump out of office, and have a majority in the House and Senate, we need to look at removing the two justices Trump placed on the court, Gorsuch and particularly, Kavanaugh.

Have at it, Scotland.

(859 posts)They will just take his golf courses away from him. We have a similar mechanism in the United States, where a company's corporate charter can be revoked. It's never used, though.
