Former first minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in connection with a police investigation into the Scottish National Party’s funding, according to the BBC.

Scottish Police said they had arrested a 52-year-old woman as part of their investigation.

British media, including the BBC, reported the 52-year-old was Ms Sturgeon.

The police investigation is looking at what happened to more than 600,000 pounds ($1.2 million) raised by Scottish independence campaigners in 2017, which was supposed to be used for the campaign but may have been used for other purposes.

Police Scotland said they are unable to comment any further as the investigation is ongoing.

Peter Murrell — the husband of Ms Sturgeon and formerly the SNP’s chief executive — was held by police in April as part of an investigation into party funding before later being released without charge.

Mr Murrell stood down as the SNP’s chief executive in March.

More to come.
