Former Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon on Saturday spoke in public for the first time since her husband Peter Murrell was questioned about the party’s financial affairs.
Murrell, 58, who was the SNP’s chief executive until last month, was arrested on Wednesday morning in connection with a long-running Police Scotland investigation into the spending of about £600,000 ($749,000), which was raised by the SNP to fund its campaigning for Scottish independence.
