Former Scottish Side Rangers Administrator Suing Police, Prosecutors For $11.9M

A former Scottish Premiership side Rangers administrator who was arrested during the investigation into the club's affairs "is suing Scotland's Chief Constable and most senior prosecutor" for £9M ($11.9M), according to Angus Howarth of the SCOTSMAN. David Whitehouse, 51, is "seeking the sum from Police Scotland boss Philip Gormley" and James Wolffe. Whitehouse and his colleague, Paul Clark, "were detained and charged by police" investigating businessman Craig Whyte's takeover of the club in '11. Charges against the two men "were later dropped." But Whitehouse claimed that "his detention by police officers" who were investigating Whyte's takeover of the Glasgow side was "wrongful." Whitehouse said that the actions of police and prosecutors "resulted in him suffering damage to his reputation of being a first class financial professional" (SCOTSMAN, 11/15).
