PEOPLE in Scotland who illegally fly-tip rubbish escape punishment 99 per cent of the time, new data has revealed.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request from the Scottish LibDems found there were 207,960 reports of rubbish being dumped between 2019/20 and 2021/22, but just 2467 fines were handed out.
And the party, which obtained the data from local authorities across Scotland, said that just 45 incidents were referred to the Procurator Fiscal.
