Revealed: Police believe a crime was committed during Craig Whyte's takeover of Rangers
18 Feb 2013 00:01
A police investigation has focused on the legality of Whyte's initial deal, the movement of money raised from deal with Ticketus and what happened to the missing £14million of unpaid PAYE and VAT.

POLICE believe a crime was committed during Craig Whyte’s takeover of Rangers, the Record can reveal.
Strathclyde officers have been looking into the deal since June last year and are close to concluding their investigation.
Key Ibrox figures have been interviewed as potential witnesses and detectives are set to travel to the US to talk to ex-chairman Alastair Johnston.
He was the man who warned fans about Whyte before the takeover and has been vocal in his condemnation of the disgraced businessman.
Ticketus – the London firm who financed the deal to pay off Rangers’ bank debt – are also thought to have spoken to police.
Last night, a legal expert said police will send a report to the Crown Office over Whyte’s dealings at Ibrox.
It is understood that enough evidence has been gathered to suggest that a crime or crimes have been committed.
Police are concentrating on three key areas – the legality of Whyte’s initial deal with former Rangers owner Sir David Murray, the movement of money raised from his notorious link-up with Ticketus and what happened to the missing £14million of unpaid PAYE and VAT.
The probe will also look at obligations which Whyte failed to fulfil and allegedly lied about. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, he promised to invest £27.5million from his own funds or from companies controlled by him.
Instead, he raised £27.4million from Ticketus, JLT Benefit Solutions and Merchant House Group – secured against future Rangers season ticket sales.
Around £18million of that was used to wipe out the club’s bank debts.
A fraud expert said: “Whyte has no option but to comply with a criminal investigation. He is not dealing with the football authorities now.
“He won’t be able to squirm his way out of attending a police interview.”
Just last week, Whyte said: “I welcome any fair investigation into anything to do with the takeover. Anybody will see there is no wrongdoing whatsoever.”
Last night, Strathclyde Police said inquiries were ongoing into the biggest scandal ever to rock Scottish football.
Whyte, 42, is also facing legal action from the SFA over fines totalling £200,000.
Lawyers delivered a writ last week to his £720,000 Scottish HQ, Castle Grant, near Grantown-on-Spey, Morayshire.

cheers, do you think there will be anything incriminating for sdm? i can't see him knowingly getting involved in what has came about. perhaps he suspected that he was shifty or it was a risk selling to him but i don't think he'll have done a deal knowing this would have been the outcome or a deal where he was secretly handed money etc.
police should have just interviewed timmy, they know exactly what happened and where every penny went
