Human Trafficking Charges Against Dame Ann Gloag Dropped

Prosecutors have decided not to pursue the case against the Stagecoach co-founder due to insufficient evidence.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service announced no further proceedings will be taken against Dame Ann Gloag and three other family members.
The alleged human trafficking and immigration offences were reported to have occurred between 2007 and 2022.
Dame Ann Gloag has consistently denied the charges, describing them as 'malicious' and damaging to her legacy.
The Crown Office reserves the right to reopen the case if new evidence emerges that serves the public interest.
The investigation has been criticized for wasting public funds and police resources, raising concerns about its impact on Gloag's charitable work.
