A man linked to a hospital construction scandal is facing charges of "financial irregularities" in connection with one of his companies.
Gordon Dunne's firm the Dunne Group was given a £4million injection to stay afloat while it carried out ground work on Edinburgh Sick Kids hospital.
But the firm went bust months later, triggering construction delays.
Dunne and wife Johanna have now been charged by police and a report sent to the Crown Office (COPFS) in relation to DWS, Building and Civil Engineering – a firm he was linked to after Dunne Group crashed into administration.
Dunne, 54, from Falkirk, has been a director of four dissolved firms, three of which were liquidated, and five companies that went into administration.
A police spokesman said: "A 54-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman have been charged and will be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged financial irregularities."
The COPFS said it had yet to receive the report.
Dunne said: "It is incorrect that I have been charged by police."
