Police have launched an investigation after a litany of serious sexual abuse allegations against former SNP chief Jordan Linden. Five men, two of whom have given statements to detectives, detail claims of sex attacks, child grooming and sexual harrassment, some recent and others that date back eight years.
Former North Lanarkshire council boss Linden, promoted and protected by SNP before being exposed by the Sunday Mail, could face jail. And top -ranking officials in party headquarters will also face questions by officers over a catalogue of complaints. First Minister Humza Yousaf finally admitted victims had been failed when questioned by this paper.
He was on a planned visit to Bellshill ahead of the by-election after the seat was left vacant by Linden’s resignation earlier this year. The vote on June 15 will be his first electoral test since becoming First Minister.
