Activists Win Right To Press For 'McMafia Law' Probe Of Trump Purchases In Scotland
HuffPost
The global activist organization Avaaz can now pressure Scottish ministers to take a deeper look into the cash behind Trump Turnberry.
A judge will allow an activist group to challenge Scottish ministers over their failure to use the “McMafia law” to delve into the mystery funds Donald Trump used to purchase one of his Scottish golf courses. Judge Lord Sandison ruled Wednesday that the case brought by the global activist organization Avaaz can proceed, citing the “general and continuing public importance of the legal questions raised” in determining the source of Trump’s cash. “Scottish ministers have been turning a blind eye to the cloud of suspicion hanging over Trump Turnberry for far too long,” Nick Flynn, legal director of the U.S.-based group, said in a statement hailing the decision.
