SNP leader Humza Yousaf’s brother-in-law charged with abduction and extortion

The brother-in-law of Scotland’s First Minister and SNP leader Humza Yousaf has been charged with abduction and extortion in a case linked to a man who died falling from a window.

The 36-year-old man was seriously injured when he fell from a block of flats in Morgan Street, Dundee, on 10 January.

He was rushed to hospital but died a week later from his injuries, according to Police Scotland.

Ramsay El-Nakla – the brother of Mr Yousaf’s wife, Nadia El-Nakla – has been arrested and charged with abduction and extortion in connection with the case.

Mr El-Nakla, 36, is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

He is the fourth person to appear in court in connection with the case.

Jennifer Souter appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court on Thursday charged with culpable homicide. The 38-year-old, of Dundee, did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody.

Stephen Stewart, 50, and Victoria McGowan, 41, appeared at the same court on Thursday charged with abduction and extortion.

They did not enter a plea and were both released on bail.

Police Scotland said: “A 36-year-old man has been arrested and charged with abduction and extortion following an incident where a man fell from a block of flats on Morgan Street, Dundee, on Wednesday January 10. He died a week later in hospital.

“Three others were previously arrested and charged following the same incident.
