Peter Murrell was re-arrested on Thursday morning in political finance investigation
has been plunged back into crisis after the decision by police to charge its former chief executive, Peter Murrell, the husband of former leader
Mr Murrell was first arrested a year ago by officers as part of an investigation, Operation Branchform, into the whereabouts of up to £660,000 in donations made to the SNP. Ms Sturgeon and Colin Beattie, the party’s former treasurer, were also arrested during the investigation. Ms Sturgeon, who along with the other two was one of the three signatories to the SNP’s accounts, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

His brother-in-law was also charged earlier in the month with abduction and extortion in a wholly separate investigation into the death of a man who fell from a high-rise block of flats in Dundee in January.
