Probe lawyer avoids legal action
No legal action is to be taken against a prosecution lawyer at the centre of an investigation into a dropped case.
Morag Stuart, 34, resigned from her job as procurator fiscal depute in Dundee following the inquiry.
She was suspended last September after Tayside Police launched an inquiry into an alleged attempt to pervert the course of justice.
A Crown Office spokesman confirmed that no action would be taken against Ms Stuart.
He said: "Following full and careful consideration of all of the facts and circumstances, Crown Counsel have instructed that no proceedings are to be taken in this case."
Hundreds of files were reportedly seized from the fiscal's office as part of the police investigation.
