Lindsey Miller, head of the serious and organised crime division at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, said: "Our specialist forensic accountants have fully assessed the financial position of Mr Swan and discovered that he has no assets with which to pay a confiscation order. "However, even in cases such as this, the legislation allows for confiscation orders to be made for nominal sums where there has been considerable financial benefit to the accused. The nominal order has the effect of preserving the Crown's position, meaning that if Mr Swan obtains any cash or assets in the future, the Crown can ask the court to recalculate the confiscation order. "The message to criminals is clear. We will continue to use innovative ways to pursue anyone who has profited from illegal activities, regardless of the nature of their offending and even if this means taking income made legitimately after the date of conviction." Swan, from Stirling, was jailed for eight months in March."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "No details of the deceased will be issued until all next of kin have been informed."
"It is surely now inevitable that the Crown Office reviews the way this entire case was conducted with the aim of reassuring cyclists and other vulnerable road users that their safety is paramount in the eyes of the law."
Rhia Weston, CTC's road justice campaigner, said: "It is debateable whether or not a helmet might have made a difference, but more importantly it is legally irrelevant."
