Exclusive:Transgender law reform critic Marion Millar arrested and charged by Police Scotland in connection with alleged fraud offences
Police Scotland say a 49-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man will appear in court
Police have charged feminist campaigner Marion Millar with alleged fraud offences, The Scotsman can reveal.
The force said a 49-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man had been arrested and charged in connection with the case.
They have been released and will appear at court at a later date, with a report to be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Ms Millar, an accountant, became a high-profile figure in Scotland as a leading critic of transgender law reform.
Noel McIntyre is the other person arrested and charged.
Last year, police revealed they had “received a number of reports relating to potentially fraudulent activity”, with inquiries launched to “establish the full circumstances”.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland has now told The Scotsman: "A 49-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man have been arrested and charged with alleged fraud offences.
"They have been released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."
