Nicola Sturgeon: Scotland's ex-first minister in custody after being arrested in connection with SNP investigation

Nicola Sturgeon is in custody after being arrested in connection with the investigation into the Scottish National Party's finances.

Scotland's former first minister and ex-SNP leader was detained as a suspect and is currently being questioned by detectives.

Ms Sturgeon's husband, the party's former chief executive Peter Murrell, was previously arrested as part of the probe along with ex-treasurer Colin Beattie. Both men were subsequently released without charge pending further inquiries.
Police Scotland launched Operation Branchform in 2021.

The long-running inquiry is linked to the spending of around £600,000 raised by supporters to be earmarked for Scottish independence campaigning.

It is understood there have been complaints the ringfenced cash may have been used improperly by being spent elsewhere.

A Police Scotland statement said: "A 52-year-old woman has today, Sunday, 11 June, 2023, been arrested as a suspect in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party."

A horrible piece of work she is. Smug cow.

She certainly gets the right wingers on here gnashing their dentures.

I guess they don't see the likes of Fabricant and Rees-Mogg as being at all 'smug'.

Yet they are the very embodiment of the term.

Funny old world, 'Daily Mail World'.

Sybille, you do realise that it's possible to hate the lot of the robbing bastards?

"Government’s annual reports and accounts estimate fraud against the taxpayer rose from £5.5 billion in total over the two years before the pandemic (2018–20) to £21 billion in total over the two years since the start of the pandemic (2020–22)."
