The Lord Advocate has answered Liam Kerr
To ask the Scottish Government what steps the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service is taking to avoid losing or destroying video and photographic evidence, in light of reports that this has happened in relation to prosecuting offences committed in football grounds.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service handles over 40,000 pieces of physical evidence every year. There are strict processes in place in relation to the handling of these labelled productions including how they are accounted for and stored.
Following a recent case in Glasgow in which regrettably the evidence could not be located, a number of improvements to the system of recording and tracking physical evidence in Glasgow have been implemented.

So, in short, they escape justice! NO, we cannot allow this and someone must have to play for this as this evidence didn't just vanish, it must have been signed for and they at Glasgow PF must have had an internal inquiry so, we demand to know the results of this.
We demand a police inquiry into this as someone within Glasgow PF has denied justice being served and that's frankly not on.
