Police Scotland said the former first minister was in custody and was being questioned by detectives in connection with the ongoing investigation into “the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party”.

A report will be sent to the Crown Office and the Solicitor’s Fiscal Service. A spokeswoman for Ms Sturgeon said: “Nicola Sturgeon today, Sunday June 11, by arrangement with Police Scotland, she attended an interview where she was to be arrested and questioned in connection with Operation Branchform. “Nicola herself has always said that she would cooperate with the investigation if she is asked to and she continues to do so.”

Charges on Nicola Sturgeon

The 52-year-old woman’s arrest comes more than two months after her husband Peter Murrell, former SNP executive director, was also detained and her home was searched for two days. Humza Yousaf, Ms Sturgeon’s successor as prime minister and leader of the SNP, said on Sunday that he could not comment on the police investigation when asked if it was “strange” that no one had yet been charged.

But he told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that he did not think “the question was unreasonable” as she revealed that he had recently spoken to his predecessor. Yousaf said he had asked Ms Sturgeon about her well-being and that she had mentioned “how difficult and traumatic these last few weeks have been”.

However, he said she was “in a good place and doing well” when he “ran into her a couple of times” in the Scottish Parliament, where he has kept a very low profile. Yousaf defended taking advice from her, saying she had been “arguably one of the best and most impressive politicians Europe has seen in the last two decades.”

Mr. Murrell was arrested on April 5. He was later released without charge pending further investigation. Allies of the couple have criticized the conduct of the police, in particular the decision to put up a tent in front of his house, with the former head of the SNP calling the decision a “grotesque spectacle”.

Murray Foote said that he was willing to bet £5 that there would be no charges after the investigation was concluded. However, Police Scotland’s chief constable said the operation was being carried out “with integrity”. Sir Iain Livingstone said he would “fiercely resist” any political interference in the inquiry.

He said a “diligent, thorough and proportionate” criminal investigation was underway and that timelines would be set by investigative rather than political considerations. It also emerged that the force consulted with the National Crime Agency last year about the long-running investigation and asked it to conduct a review of its work on the case.Read More……
