Mr Yousaf and his wife currently live in Dundee’s upmarket Broughty Ferry suburb, where she is a local councillor. Mr Yousaf himself is the MSP for Glasgow Pollok, a one-and-a-half-hour drive away from his home.

The arrests were first publicised in the Sunday Post, which reported Mr Humza as declining to comment when contacted.
His wife added: “I don’t have any comment just now. Let’s see what happens in the next few days.”
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Officers were called to a report of a break-in at a property on Balmoral Gardens in Dundee during the evening of Thursday, January 11. Three people - two men, aged 50 and 36, and a 41-year-old woman - were traced and all have been arrested and charged in connection with drug offences."

The El-Nakla family have been in the headlines in recent months after Ms Humza’s parents became trapped in Gaza during a trip to see their doctor son Mohammed, which coincided with the October 7 terror attacks on Israel by Hamas.
