'He has also been charged in connection with a wilful fire at a premises in Albert Street in Edinburgh on Thursday, 6 March.
'He is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today, Monday, 16 June.'
Day before the alleged firebombing Richard, 37, had been transferred from Glenochil prison, near Alloa, Clackmannanshire, to Low Moss in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow.
The move came amid fears over an escalating gang war across Scotland's central belt.

Sources previously said the transfer was aimed at keeping the Daniel gang associate away from bitter rivals linked to the notorious Lyons mob.
Richardson was jailed in 2018 for more than ten years for his role in a crime network said to be 'the most sophisticated encountered' by Scottish cops.

Edinburgh MSP asks how Police Scotland will handle protests in support of Palestine Actio n
Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton is asking Scotland's chief constable how she plans to police protests over events in Gaza after Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

At a protest march in London last weekend, where demonstrators carried placards saying "I support Palestine Action", 522 people were arrested on suspicion of breaking terrorism laws. According to the police, their average age was 54 and 112 of them were over 70.

Mr Cole-Hamilton, who is MSP for Edinburgh Western, said there was potential for a "massive" waste of police time, which would be better spent tackling violent and antisocial offenders. He said: 'Proscription must be applied carefully and proportionately, or we risk undermining public trust and civil liberties. The right to peaceful protest is a cornerstone of a liberal democracy. 'It has clearly been incredibly uncomfortable for police officers to be asked to arrest peaceful demonstrators. This sets a dangerous precedent and risks a chilling impact on free speech and legitimate protest.

Its proscription means membership of, or support for, the group is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Mr Cole-Hamilton called for an urgent review of terrorism legislation to ensure it is proportionate and nuanced. He said: 'Serious criminal offences such as vandalism of military equipment and RAF aircraft deserve accountability under the law, but these powers should be reserved for tackling those who endanger the UK's defence and security, rather than for heavy handedly removing protesting pensioners from public spaces. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'If these protests spread to Scotland, this has the potential to be a massive waste of time when officers and court officials would be better off tackling violent and antisocial offenders." In his letter to Chief Constable Jo Farrell, he asks what approach Police Scotland would be minded to take if similar protests to the one in London last weekend were staged in Scotland. He writes: "Obviously, I would not expect you to involve yourself in the debate around proscription per se but I hope you might agree with me that it does raise legitimate questions of balance around policing protests involving those who have taken a different view from the one reached by the Home Secretary." He argues it "can only hinder the fight against terror" if the law is seen as being aimed "at people whose intention is to exercise their constitutional rights to protest".

And he concludes: "I'm keen to understand how Police Scotland intends to navigate the tension that exists here between free speech, policing by consent and the demands of this legislation."

Alex Salmond's widow to push ahead with suing Scottish Government
A family friend said claims in Nicola Sturgeon's memoir has strengthened Moira Salmond's resolve Sign up to our Politics newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Alex Salmond's widow is to push ahead with the former first minister's legal action against the Scottish Government. Moira has reportedly appointed a KC, two junior counsel and a lead investigator to pursue the case. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Sunday Mail said criticism of Mr Salmond in Nicola Sturgeon's new memoir had strengthened her resolve. Alex Salmond's widow Moira during the public memorial service for the former first minister in 2024 | PA A family friend told the paper: "Moira is upset and angered by the continued attempts to smear Alex in the book – much of which is ridiculous and inaccurate. It has only strengthened her resolve to make sure that the full truth comes out and that Alex's name is cleared.' They added: 'Her case against the Scottish Government is now live, the legal team is in place, the finance in place and this will be going ahead, no question of that. Alex may not be here to defend himself but his family are determined to stand up to those who continue to attack him. 'There is an adjustment period ongoing until September where updates can be made by either side to their paperwork, it takes time but the ball is rolling. Anyone who thinks this is just going to go away is wrong.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mr Salmond was in the process of suing the Scottish Government over its botched handling of sexual harassment claims made against him when he died last year. In November 2023, he warned a 'day of reckoning' was coming and named Nicola Sturgeon and ex-permanent secretary Leslie Evans in the case, accusing both of 'misfeasance', or the wrongful exercise of lawful authority. In her memoir, Ms Sturgeon dismissed claims of a 'conspiracy' against her predecessor. 'Right up to the moment he died, Alex was accusing me, and others, or being part of a conspiracy against him,' she wrote. 'He was trying to rewrite history; to supplant the truth with an alternative reality. I cannot let that stand unchallenged.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mr Salmond was cleared of multiple sexual assault charges following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh in 2020. He previously won a legal case against the Scottish Government over its handling of complaints against him. However, Ms Sturgeon said a picture had emerged during Mr Salmond's trial 'of behaviour towards women that, on occasion, had been inappropriate', and said she felt 'he would have rather destroyed the SNP than see it succeed without him'. Ms Sturgeon wrote: 'Alex's claims of conspiracy and betrayal were the cries of a man who was not prepared to look honestly at himself in the mirror, and that is why, ultimately, my greatest regret might be for him. He died without reckoning with himself.' Moira, 88, previously spoke out about attacks on her late husband. "Attacks by the living on the dead will seem to many as deeply unfair,' she said in a statement in January. 'My wish, and sincere hope, is that these attacks will now stop.

Moira Salmond resumes legal action over harassment case
Finance for the revived case — which originally sought around £3 million in damages and loss of earnings — has been secured, with wealthy supporters of Mr Salmond understood to be backing the proceedings. READ MORE The case accuses ministers of misfeasance — the wrongful exercise of lawful authority. Before his sudden death from a heart attack in North Macedonia last October, Mr Salmond had warned of a 'day of reckoning'. 'Attacks by the living on the dead will seem to many as deeply unfair.' (Image: PA) A family friend told the Sunday Mail: 'Moira is upset and angered by the continued attempts to smear Alex in the book — much of which is ridiculous and inaccurate. It has only strengthened her resolve to make sure that the full truth comes out and that Alex's name is cleared.' They added: 'Her case against the Scottish Government is now live, the legal team is in place, the finance in place and this will be going ahead, no question of that. Alex may not be here to defend himself but his family are determined to stand up to those who continue to attack him. 'There is an adjustment period ongoing until September where updates can be made by either side to their paperwork. It takes time, but the ball is rolling. Anyone who thinks this is just going to go away is wrong.' Ms Salmond has also previously urged for restraint. 'Attacks by the living on the dead will seem to many as deeply unfair,' she said in January. 'My wish, and sincere hope, is that these attacks will now stop.' The book, in which Ms Sturgeon denies a conspiracy to bring down her predecessor, but paints a damning portrait of him as a bully and a drunk, has prompted angry responses from Mr Salmond's family. His niece, Christina Hendry, branded Frankly "distasteful" and "cruel." She told the Scottish Sun on Sunday: '[Nicola Sturgeon] is using his name for relevance, to promote her book, to earn money — she could have said these things in the past few years. 'She has chosen to wait until he is no longer here to defend himself. It's left to the family to deal with this and there's an element of cowardice to that.' She added: 'My uncle spent his career bigging up Scotland and looking to the future — looking to make change for the better. 'He did not spend his time cashing in on others' legacy or using their name or dragging their name through the dirt.' Ms Hendry added: 'Many people are struggling to understand why she would do this and why she would have such disregard for the family and their feelings. 'Not once have I seen her mention any thought to the family and what they're going through with these headlines about my uncle. 'There's a question of jealousy and bitterness — she was not able to achieve the same and her political career does not have the same legacy as his.' Asked if she believed Ms Sturgeon was cashing in on her infamous fall-out with her uncle, Ms Hendry replied: 'Yes. I can't see any other reason. 'It seems quite a coincidence that the time she is saying this is the time she is selling her book.' Asked if she believed Ms Sturgeon was cashing in on her infamous fall-out with her uncle, Ms Hendry replied: 'Yes. I can't see any other reason. 'It seems quite a coincidence that the time she is saying this is the time she is selling her book.' Ms Hendry said Ms Sturgeon's actions were dissapointing (Image: Supplied) In the memoir, Ms Sturgeon claims Mr Salmond had not read the SNP's 650-page white paper on independence and left her to write much of it alone. She describes her 'cold fury' when he jetted to China, vowing to read the document on the plane, which she believed 'would not survive contact with the first glass of in-flight champagne'. READ MORE She also alleges he was 'implacably opposed' to gay marriage, tolerated rumours of 'consensual affairs' during his marriage, and 'failed to show contrition' for 'inappropriate' behaviour towards women. She suggests he may even have leaked news of the government investigation into him in 2018 to cast himself as a victim — a claim dismissed by his allies. Mr Salmond was acquitted of 13 charges of sexual assault, including attempted rape, at the High Court in 2020. A separate judicial review that year found the Scottish Government's investigation into him had been 'tainted by apparent bias', awarding him more than £500,000 in legal costs. Kenny MacAskill, Mr Salmond's successor as Alba leader, also condemned the memoir, saying: 'What has been published plumbs even lower depths than we ever imagined. Sturgeon has shown she is without honour.'
