(Patria) - Nicola Sturgeon is in custody after being arrested in connection with an investigation into the finances of the Scottish National Party.
Nicola Sturgeon's husband, former SNP executive director Peter Murrell, was previously arrested as part of the investigation along with former treasurer Colin Beattie. Both were subsequently released without charge pending further investigation.
Police Scotland launched Operation Branchform in 2021.
The long-running investigation is linked to the spending of around £600,000 raised by supporters for the Scottish independence campaign.
It is understood there were complaints that the earmarked funds may have been misused as they were spent elsewhere.
Police searched the SNP headquarters and the homes of Sturgeon and Murrell as part of the investigation.
A luxury camper van worth £100,000 was also seized from outside the home of Peter Murrell's mother in Dunfermline, Sky News reports.
