A former Dundee SNP councillor and aide to nationalist MP Stewart Hosie is to appear in court accused of sending “threatening” and “racist” text messages to a female SNP activist.
Craig Melville is said to have sent a string of texts to Nadia El-Nakla, who works as a parliamentary assistant and senior case officer for Holyrood health minister Shona Robison, the day after the Paris terror attacks in November 2015.
Melville was suspended by the SNP and quit as a Dundee city councillor when the allegations came to light last January before he was charged in April 2016.
Now it is understood he has been cited to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court next Friday over the allegations.
