ian1964 10,618 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 07 September 2015 16:34 BST Prosecutors have been granted an extra three months to bring former Rangers owner Craig Whyte and four others to trial over the alleged fraudulent acquisition of the club. The Crown Office on Thursday asked for an extension to the date when an indictment must be served on those charged in connection with the alleged fraudulent purchase of Rangers in 2011. Prosecutors had until September 17 to present their case against the club's former owner Craig Whyte, joint administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, ex-club secretary Gary Withey and David Grier. At court proceedings in Glasgow on Monday, legal arguments continued after the Crown requested the extension to their deadline on Thursday. Sheriff Sean Murphy QC told lawyers at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday he would grant a three-month extension to the time bar in the case. All five men were charged in November 2014 accused of being involved in a fraudulent scheme when Whyte bought Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1 in 2011. http://m.stv.tv/news/west-central/1328245-crown-get-extra-time-to-bring-ex-rangers-owner-craig-whyte-to-trial/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
