A Glasgow businessman accused of killing a cyclist in a hit-and-run in Ibiza last week has been released from prison after paying £8,600 bail.

Scott Devenney, 35, was arrested after handing himself in to cops in the party resort of San Antonio more than 24 hours after amateur sportsman Bernat Rivas, 49, was knocked off his bike last Tuesday.

The expat, co-founder of an organic restaurant called Down to Earth in his home city’s West End, appeared in court last Friday.An investigating judge said he could avoid a remand in jail by handing over €10,000 or £8583, but must hand over his passport and agree to a travel ban as part of a series of conditions attached to his provisional release.

Officials confirmed today he had been released from prison after handing over the cash. Mr Rivas’ death has caused a wave of anger in Ibiza, where six years ago 24-year-old cyclist Dani Vinals was knocked down and killed by a hit-and-run driver high on drink and drugs who was subsequently sentenced to just four years in prison.Loved ones, friends and well-wishers massed at a church for his funeral last Friday.
