    Nicola has been arrested

    Can't any politicians and ex ones behave? I just touch my phone and get a news flash of misconduct.

    Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested by police investigating allegations of financial misconduct by the Scottish National party.

    Sturgeon, who quit as first minister and SNP leader in early April, is the third person to be arrested as part of Operation Branchform, the Police Scotland investigation into allegations that more than £600,000 in donations for an independence campaign was misspent by the party.

      Isn't this just a procedural matter of being arrested in order to answer questions?

          Yes. They must have strong suspicion there has been a crime though. If there has been wrongdoing there is absolutely no way Sturgeon is not up to her eyeballs in it because of how she structured the party.

            Just to remind posters that Scottish contempt of court rules are harsher than English and Welsh ones.

                  I wonder how Police Scotland coped with Jimmy Krankie in the custody suite?
