No further action will be taken against a bus company tycoon who was charged with human trafficking offences, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal (COPFS) has said.
In January 2023, Dame Ann Gloag, co-founder of Stagecoach, was charged alongside three others by Police Scotland for alleged human trafficking and immigration offences.
Dame Ann has strongly denied the charges since the beginning and, on Wednesday, COPFS said it would make no further proceedings against her or the three others – two men and a woman.
The service said they would only continue with proceedings in future if further evidence became available.
