Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been detained on suspicion of financial wrongdoing inside the Scottish National Party (SNP).
The first minister of Scotland is in charge of forming, developing, and presenting policy. He or she also serves as the head of state and as the leader of the cabinet.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Scottish police confirmed Sturgeon's detention.
According to the statement, she was detained and is currently being questioned by investigators after being apprehended as a suspect in connection with the continuing investigation into the funding and finances of the SNP.
“A report will be sent to the Crown office and Procurator Fiscal Service,” the statement added.
Sturgeon’s arrest comes a few months after Peter Murrell, her husband and the former chief executive of the SNP, was arrested at their home in Glasgow.
Sturgeon, who quit as first minister and SNP leader in early April, is the third person to be arrested as part of operation Branchform, the Police Scotland investigation into allegations that the party misspent more than £600,000 in donations for an independence campaign.
She is also the longest-serving first minister and was the first woman to hold the position.
