Grreens want orangefelon investigated

“The super-rich like Donald Trump must not be allowed to act with impunity, buying up land, trashing environmental sites, and controlling politicians. Scotland isn’t their personal playground."

As US President and convicted criminal Donald Trump lands in Aberdeenshire, the Scottish Greens have renewed calls for his Scottish financial interests to be investigated.

Patrick Harvie, Scottish Green co-leader, first called on the Scottish Government to seek an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) to investigate Trump’s businesses 5 years ago.

A UWO is a power held by the Scottish Government to investigate the finances of politically active individuals who have gained wealth through suspicious means.

The criminal charges brought against Trump in New York specifically cited his Menie golf estate in Aberdeenshire, finding its value had been falsely inflated.
