Former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon is still under investigation as part of a long-running police probe into SNP fundraising finances, Police Scotland’s chief constable has said.
Jo Farrell said she could not confirm when the Operation Branchform inquiry will end as it is still “ongoing”.
The probe was launched in 2021 to investigate how £666,953 of crowdfunding donations was spent by the party.
The party’s former chief executive Peter Murrell – who is Ms Sturgeon’s husband – was charged on April 18 this year in connection with the embezzlement of party funds and a report was later sent to the prosecution service.
Well, Murrell was caught with his fingers in the till. Is Sturgeon expecting people to think she didn't know anything!
Fall from grace to jail would be would be a fantastic outcome.
