Scotland’s former lord advocate has pushed back on “false and scandalous” attacks on him over the malicious prosecution of two Rangers FC administrators.
Paul Clark and David Whitehouse were awarded more than £20 million after charges brought against them in their 2014 indictment were dropped or dismissed.
After they were cleared, the pair launched a civil action against the Crown Office and Police Scotland, with the current Lord Advocate, James Wolffe QC, admitting liability last year.
