Quick Glance: Police Investigation into SNP Finances: Key Updates
  • On Thursday, the re-arrest of Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, took place as part of the police investigation into the SNP’s finances.

  • Murrell, aged 59, was apprehended and underwent interrogation by detectives.

  • The arrest occurred slightly more than a year subsequent to the search conducted by Police Scotland officers at the couple’s residence, where a blue tent was set up outside the property, alongside searches at the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh.

  • In April 2024, Peter Murrell was charged with 'embezzlement' of funds from the SNP.
