The former First Minister was arrested and released without charge on Sunday, but has gone to ground since
Nicola Sturgeon has gone to ground in the 36 hours since she was arrested by police amid an ongoing investigation into the finances of the Scottish National Party. Neighbours in her quiet suburban street in Uddingston, near Glasgow, say there have been no signs of life at the home she shares with husband Peter Murrell following her release.
Although a police van passed the house several times on Monday afternoon, one neighbour told the Record on that there did not appear to be anyone home. She said: “We’ve not seen or heard anything. It’s been all quiet.” “Obviously, given the nature of this process, I cannot go into detail. However, I do wish to say this, and to do so in the strongest possible terms.
She is the third member of the SNP to be arrested and questioned by officers as part of Operation Branchform, Police Scotland's investigation into alleged misuse of party finances. Her husband, former party chief executive Peter Murrell, was arrested in early April and ex-treasurer Colin Beattie followed less than two weeks later. Both went on to quit their roles.
Ash Regan, who stood against Yousaf for the SNP leadership, said: "I think that Nicola should perhaps consider voluntarily resigning her SNP membership until this can be cleared up."
