Trump Organisation CFO Allen Weisselberg terminated as director of golf course in Scotland
- A notice filed at Companies House, UK, on Thursday showed that Weisselberg had been axed as a director of Trump International Golf Club Scotland
- Weisselberg was also terminated as a ‘person with significant control,’ which gives an individual influence over how a company is run
Trump Organisation chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg has been terminated as the director and controller of one of Donald Trump’s Scotland golf courses. The news comes after the executive and company were charged in a 15-count indictment.
A notice filed on Thursday at Companies House, the UK registry of private companies, showed that Weisselberg had been terminated as a director of Trump International Golf Club Scotland, a holding company that owns Trump's Aberdeenshire golf resort, Trump International Golf Links.
He was also terminated as a “person with significant control”, which gives an individual influence over how a company is run.
Former US president Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jnr remain directors of the company, while Donald Jnr is now the sole person with significant control. Donald Trump himself resigned as a director from the company in January 2017, when he became president, Companies House records show.
Weisselberg was initially appointed as one of four directors of the company in 2006, when Trump first bought the land in Aberdeenshire, which he subsequently turned into a luxury golf resort.
Eric remains the sole director of Trump's other Scottish golf company, Golf Recreation Scotland.
