Europe’s first Trump International Hotel might not happen thanks to an “embarrassing” scandal involving the Serbian government, Rachel Maddow said during a segment on the state corruption that has jeopardized the deal.
The Trump and Kushner families had planned to tear down a national monument in Belgrade and build a $500 million luxury hotel and residence on the site, Maddow explained. But the deal is in jeopardy after the official who signed off on the monument’s demolition admitted to forging the document to authorize the destruction.
The official faked an expert opinion saying the site could be stripped of its cultural heritage status, and now faces criminal charges of abuse of office and forgery of official documents, The New York Timesreported last week.
