Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon is no longer under investigation by Police Scotland amid a probe into the SNP’s funding and finances.
In April 2023, the home he shared with Ms Sturgeon was searched by police officers looking into what happened to £660,000 of donations given to the SNP by independence activists.
Clear
Speaking outside her home on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon said she was “completely in the clear”, adding: “That is the outcome I would always have expected.
“As I have said to all of you many times, I have done nothing wrong. So, I was confident of reaching this point and getting to this outcome, but obviously it is a relief now to have that confirmed.”
She added: “I think it won’t surprise anybody to hear me say that it’s not been an easy experience, so to reach this point today is obviously something I am relieved about.
“I’ve been trying to get on with my life and I now intend to do that.”
Jolyon Maugham wrote on X: “Oh look, now her political career is over, the police have dropped their investigation.”
