What happened: Paul McManus, drummer for Scottish band Gun, is financing the legal action initiated by Alex Salmond's family against the Scottish government.
Why it matters:
- The case involves a high-profile former First Minister and could impact government accountability.
- Funding from a public figure highlights wider public interest and support in the legal proceedings.
MNN Take: This development shows how private individuals can influence significant political legal cases by providing financial backing.
