Police quiz Purcell ally over drugs allegations

Police have questioned one of Steven Purcell’s closest allies over claims of corruption and drug abuse at Glasgow City Council.

Councillor Ruth Black, a personal friend of the disgraced former council leader, visited a police station to discuss allegations that she was unfairly given a £50,000 council contract because of her connection to Mr Purcell.
