The 59-year-old husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon was taken into custody for questioning on Thursday morning.
The SNP has been urged to cooperate with the police investigation into the party’s finances after its former chief executive Peter Murrell was charged in connection with embezzlement of funds.
He said: “The announcement that Peter Murrell has been charged by Police Scotland is an extremely serious development in the investigation into the SNP’s finances. An SNP spokesperson said: “While this development will come as a shock, the police investigation remains ongoing and it would, therefore, be inappropriate to make any comment.”
