Prosecution closes case in Whyte fraud trial

Theprosecutionhasclosed its case in the Craig Whyte fraud trial.

Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC told the High Court in Glasgow that no further evidence would be led by the Crown.

A total of 17 witnesses have given evidence so far – including well-known Rangers figures Sir David Murray, Walter Smith and Ally Mccoist.

Mr Prentice yesterday made a number of changes to the indictment, including the date of Whyte’s fraud accusation being amended.

Certain locations mentioned were also deleted, along with a number of names of individuals said to have been “representatives” of Whyte.

Mr Prentice concluded: “With that I formally close the Crown case.”

Jurors were then sent away for the day. Whyte, 46, denies the charges.
