Former Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in an investigation into the party’s finances, Police Scotland have said.

Ms Sturgeon stood down as SNP leader earlier this year.

Police Scotland said she is in custody and is being questioned by detectives.

The force said: “A 52-year-old woman has today, Sunday, June 11, been arrested as a suspect in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party.”
