Humza Yousaf’s brother-in-law arrested for second time in days after man ‘falls from flat window’
HUMZA Yousaf’s brother-in-law was nicked by cops AGAIN as he prepared to walk free from court.
Ramsay El-Nakla, younger brother of the First Minister’s wife Nadia, had secured bail after being accused of dealing heroin.
But officers stepped in as he got ready to leave the dock and nicked him in connection with another alleged incident.
They wanted to talk to him about a man falling from the window of a flat in Dundee last week.
A 36-year-old was seriously injured after he plunged from a tenement block on the city’s Morgan Street.
Emergency services rushed to the scene last Wednesday morning.
Cops taped off the street and locals reported a large police presence in the area.
Residents said they spotted a binman and a street sweeper going to help the injured man before paramedics arrived. He was then taken to Ninewells Hospital.
El-Nakla, 36, was first arrested last Thursday in connection with a different alleged incident.
Him and co-accused Stephen Stewart, 50, and Victoria McGowan, 41, were taken into custody in relation to drugs offences at Balmoral Gardens, Dundee.
Court papers revealed all three were accused of dealing smack as well as possessing cannabis and cocaine.
They made no plea or declaration during the short hearing in front of Sheriff George Way.
Their bail was not opposed and El-Nakla’s girlfriend and pals were told he would be allowed to go home with them.
But he never left the courtroom and was taken back to the cells at the adjoining Bell Street police station.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Two men, aged 50 and 36, and a 41-year-old woman were arrested on Monday, 15 January, 2024 in connection with an incident on Morgan Street, Dundee on Wednesday, 10 January.
“Around 8.20am on 10 January, officers received a report that a man had fallen from a flat. The 36-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
El-Nakla’s sister is the spokeswoman for drugs and alcohol on Dundee City Council.
When asked about the drugs charges, the First Minister said: “Well I can’t comment because it is a live court case.
“It would be inappropriate for me to comment at this stage.
“There may well be (a statement) but I’m very keen not be seen to interfere with any court case, let alone one involving my brother in law.”
