✦ Meridian Analysis
The Scottish Government is exploring the seizure of assets belonging to Sanjeev Gupta’s business empire, and Holyrood wants to ensure that any claims it has against GFG Alliance are prioritized over those of other creditors. The mechanics resemble a creditor‑driven asset‑seizure process rather than a conventional acquisition.
