The brother-in-law of Scotland’s former first minister Humza Yousaf has been cleared of extortion and drugs charges.

Ramsay El-Nakla, 37, was acquitted of all charges after prosecutors accepted his not guilty pleas at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Co-accused Stephen Stewart, 52, Jennifer Souter, 39, and Victoria McGowan, 43, are accused of killing Ryan Munro at a flat in Dundee in January last year.

Judge Lady Drummond said that Mr El-Nakla would now be called as a prosecution witness when the case calls on Monday.

The quartet, all from Dundee, were alleged to have intimidated and extorted money from Mr Munro at a flat in Morgan Street.

Mr El-Nakla was cleared of this charge and two further charges of being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin.

Mr Stewart, Ms Souter and Ms McGowan are accused of killing Mr Munro by putting him in an extreme state of fear for his safety by threatening and intimidating him.

Prosecutors say this caused him to flee through a high window, where he died from his injuries after falling to the ground.

The three accused all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
