The husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Peter Murrell, was arrested in connection with an investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party.
Murrell, 58, stepped down as the SNP’s chief executive last month after more than two decades in the role following Sturgeon’s shock resignation as first minister in February. A 58-year-old man was “arrested as a suspect” and is being questioned by detectives, Police Scotland said in a statement. “Officers are also carrying out searches at a number of addresses as part of the investigation,” the statement added.
” The party’s governing body has agreed to a review of governance and transparency, the spokesperson added. The SNP has led the Scottish government since 2007, but momentum behind its goal of breaking away from the UK has slowed recently as the party’s polling has dipped and political headaches have mounted. Murrell and Sturgeon have been key figures in the Scottish independence movement for years.
