The brother-in-law of Humza Yousaf has gone on trial accused of extortion and dealing class A drugs. It follows the death of a man who fell from a window in Dundee after allegedly being threatened.
Ramsay El-Nakla, 37, has gone on trial at the High Court in Edinburgh with 3 others after the death of Ryan Munro on January 10, 2024.
Court papers allege they “did threaten and intimidate him, thereby placing him in an extreme state of fear and alarm for his safety, and cause said Ryan Munro to escape said flat from a window at height, causing him to fall from said window and strike the ground, whereby he was so severely injured that he died there and you did kill him”.
El-Nakla, of Dundee, is accused of dealing cocaine from the flat between January 9 and 11 2024, as well as at another home in the city, which he denies.

Reform UK has received a record £9m donation from cryptocurrency investor and aviation entrepreneur Christopher Harborne, new figures from the Electoral Commission show.
It is the largest ever single donation by a living person to a British political party.
Mr Harborne, who is British but lives in Thailand, has previously given large sums to the Conservatives under Boris Johnson's leadership, as well as Reform's predecessor the Brexit Party in 2019 and 2020.
While the next general election is not due until 2029, the donation comes ahead of local elections next May.

Rumours swirling around Westminster that the massive £9 MILLION donation to Reform from Christopher Harborne was made under the pre-condition that BORIS JOHNSON is allowed to join and stand for the party.
A company Harborne was involved with was awarded an £80 million contract for Ukraine. He then personally donated £1 million to the 'Office of Boris Johnson'.

A lynch mob has beaten a man to death, hacked off his genitals and dragged his body through the streets as punishment after accusing him of raping a disabled woman.
Ali, 47, was hunted by furious locals for raping and assaulting the woman in Gowa, Indonesia, on November 30.
Passersby immediately recognised the suspect, allegedly notorious for terrorising the area with frequent thefts, and lynched him, wielding sticks, stones, and machetes.
The vigilantes were said to have 'chopped up' his genitals before parading his limp body, hogtied to wooden poles, past homes in scenes of mob justice.

Britons are being warned to wear face masks as the NHS faces a 'historic crisis' this winter amid looming strikes and record numbers of people in hospital with flu.
Amid the so-called 'flunami', the UK Health Security Agency says coverings 'continue to be a useful tool in limiting the spread respiratory viruses in some situations'.
They also say masks can protect the person wearing them from becoming infected with other respiratory viruses such as Covid-19 or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Netflix has agreed to buy the film and streaming businesses of Warner Bros Discovery for $72bn (£54bn) in a major Hollywood deal.
Netflix co-chief executive Ted Sarandos said the streamer was "highly confident" it would receive the regulatory approval it needs and it was running "full speed" towards this.
He said that by combining the library of Warner Bros shows and movies with the streaming platform's series such as Stranger Things, "we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling".
"Warner Bros have defined the last century of entertainment, and together we can define the next one," he said.

The police watchdog says it is investigating after a teenager who was tasered by an officer on a motorway was fatally hit by a car.
Logan Smith, 18, was being taken to hospital in an ambulance at about 11pm on Sunday when the vehicle stopped on the hard shoulder of the M5 in Somerset.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the vehicle stopped on the northbound carriageway "due to the concerns of ambulance staff".
Mr Smith got out of the ambulance near the junction for Weston-super-Mare and "entered the live lanes of the motorway", the watchdog added.
Police were called and an officer arrived at the scene, with bodycam footage showing the officer discharging their Taser, causing the teenager to fall to the ground.
"Soon afterwards" Mr Smith was struck by a car travelling on the southbound carriageway, the IOPC said.
