Charity chief pleads not guilty to fraud

THE former director of a fundraising campaign in aid of sick children has pled not guilty to 13 charges of fraudulently claiming expenses.

Elaine McGonigle, 48, of Errol, Perthshire, has been accused of the fraud while at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.

McGonigle was excused attending Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday as the hearing was for a legal debate on a defence motion.
