Club owner in hit-and-run charge

Angelo Massone is the chairman of Livingston Football Club

Livingston Football Club owner Angelo Massone has been charged with failing to stop after a road accident in Edinburgh.

The 37-year-old Italian was not present in court when the case called at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday and has yet to make a plea.

His solicitor, Richard Soutar, asked for the case to be continued for three weeks.

The alleged incident took place on 29 November at Henderson Row.

The charge claims Mr Massone was the driver of a car which collided with and damaged another car but he failed to stop and give his name and address.

A further charge alleges he failed to report the accident to police within 24 hours.

Mr Massone, from Edinburgh, is also due to stand trial later this year accused of being drunk in charge of a car in Edinburgh's Bonnington Road on the same date.
