Former Scottish First Minister's Husband Arrested in SNP Funding Probe

Peter Murrell, the husband of former Scottish first minister and Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon, has been arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party. Scottish police have been investigating how £600,000 earmarked for the Scottish independence campaign was spent. Murrell resigned as the party’s chief executive in March amid a controversy about the party’s declining membership and the contest to replace Sturgeon.
