SNP-Police ‘cahoots’ allegation a ‘conspiracy’ says Yousaf

Police have continued searching the home of Murrell and Sturgeon throughout the day

First Minister Humza Yousaf says claims Police Scotland are “in cahoots” with the SNP over the timing of Peter Murrell’s arrest are nothing more than a “conspiracy theory”.

The Former SNP chief – who’s the husband of Nicola Sturgeon – was arrested, then released without charge yesterday, over a long-running investigation into the party’s finances.

It’s little more than a week now, since Ms Sturgeon stepped down – and Mr Yousaf says party transparency is “not to the standard” he’d expect, and vows to do better.
