Case continues against ex-Highlands councillor
A CRIMINAL case is being continued against a former councillor – the youngest ever to be elected in the Highlands – who is accused of forming a fraudulent scheme in a bid to win victory.
Alexander Lindsay Murray-MacLeod, who is now 21 but was 19 when elected, faces allegations which include fiddling expenses during the campaign for the Landward Caithness seat on Highland council.
The former councillor, who resigned two months ago, was not present, but his lawyer sought a continuation without plea and a new date of 5 December was set.
