Nicola Sturgeon, the former first minister of Scotland, has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the funding of the Scottish National Party (SNP).
Sturgeon, who served as first minister from 2014 to 2023, was arrested on Monday morning at her home in Glasgow. She was later released on bail.
The investigation into the SNP's funding is being carried out by the Scottish Police Authority. It is understood that the investigation is focused on allegations of possible wrongdoing by senior SNP figures.
Sturgeon has denied any wrongdoing. She has said that she is "confident" that she will be cleared of any charges.
The arrest of Sturgeon is a major development in the Scottish political landscape. It comes at a time when the SNP is facing a number of challenges, including a decline in its popularity in the polls.
