Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested by police and is being investigated over allegations of financial crimes by the Scottish National Party (SNP).

Sturgeon, who resigned as prime minister and SNP leader at the start of April, is the third person to be arrested as part of Operation Branchform, Police Scotland's investigation into claims that more than £600,000 was spent on campaigning.

Nicola Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell, an SNP administrator for 24 years, was arrested at their home in Uddingston near Glasgow on April 5 and released after 12 hours of questioning.

Colin Beattie, the party's treasurer, was arrested and questioned as part of the same investigation on April 18 and then released pending further enquiries.
