The former first minister spoke to journalists in her first appearance at the Scottish Parliament since her husband's arrest.
In her first appearance at the Scottish Parliament since her husband's arrest, Ms Sturgeon said she has not been questioned by police in relation to the inquiry and refused to comment on the campervan seized from outside her mother-in-law's Dunfermline home.
She added:"What I will say up front is that I'm not going to go into any detail that impinges on a live police investigation. "There are many questions that I would want to be able to answer, and in the fullness of time I hope I will answer, but it would be wrong and inappropriate for me to go into any detail of what the police are currently investigating."
She added:"Clearly the events of the last few weeks have been difficult - and I use this word advisedly and deliberately - in some respects very traumatic.Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerEarlier on Tuesday, Mr Beattie said he had no knowledge of the party's purchase of the luxury motorhome.First minister Humza Yousaf told Sky News the state-of-the-art vehicle was an SNP asset and was part of the warrant list of items seized by police.
