A 36-year-old man was seriously injured after plummeting from a block of flats in Dundee’s Morgan Street on 10 January. He died in hospital one week later.
Ramsay El-Nakla, 36, was due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
El-Nakla, the brother of Mr Yousaf’s wife, Dundee councillor Nadia El-Nakla, will be the fourth person to appear in the dock in connection with the incident.
