“The husband of Scotland’s former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has been rearrested in relation to a police probe into the finances of the Scottish National party. Peter Murrell, the SNP’s former chief executive, was previously arrested on April 5 last year as part of Operation Branchform, an investigation that has cast a shadow over the party that has governed Scotland for 17 years. … The investigation, launched in 2021, has focused on complaints that party donations given during independence referendum fundraising appeals of 2017 and 2019 were spent on other things.” (04/18/24)
