Avaaz, a U.S.-based global activism group, has filed a petition in Scotland's highest civil court asking for a review of the Scottish government's recent decision to not seek an "unexplained wealth order" looking into former President Trump's Scottish golf course, Reuters reports.
The petition from Avaaz was served to Scotland's government on Monday.
