A Holyrood committee hears the cost of civil litigation against the Lord Advocate is almost £51m.
Administrators David Whitehouse and Paul Clark were appointed administrators when the company that ran Rangers went into administration in 2012.The Crown has since said their prosecution was "malicious" andformer chief executive Charles Green and former director Imran Ahmad should never have been prosecuted, with Mr Green receiving more than £6m in compensation plus legal costs.
Mr Logue was responding to a question by Scottish Conservatives shadow community safety minister Russell Findlay."While it's reassuring to hear that this won't come from Crown budgets - it is a huge sum that should have been spent on vital public services," he said.
