The international criminal mastermind behind Scottish tea that was actually from Africa is implicated in a number of other scams.
Police say that they are investigating the activities of a number of related companies.
The Extremely Scottish Moray Mango company supplied fruit to exclusive hotels and resorts, including restaurants at Donald Trump's Turnberry golf club. Suspicions were aroused when the mangoes arrived in tins.
In another investigation, the accused claimed that The Scottish Unicorn Milk Mozzarella Company was only ever intended as a joke. Company records showed sales exceeding a million pounds, mostly to America.
The Extremely Old Heritage and Very Vintage Scottish Whisky Company was found to be passing off 'scot-ish wisky' from a discount store that had been rebottled and labelled as a 450-year-old malt that was 210° proof. Scottish Police say that they have seized all remaining stocks and are subjecting them to thorough testing.
'It's amazing what people will fall for,' said the local Reform MP.
