Police are intensifying their investigation into the finances of the Scottish National Party (SNP), specifically focusing on the handling of £600,000 in donations.
The probe, known as Operation Branchform, has reached a critical juncture as detectives have sought formal advice from prosecutors on potential further actions. This development follows the charging of Peter Murrell, the former SNP chief executive and husband of Nicola Sturgeon, with embezzlement of party funds in April. The investigation scrutinizes the financial management under the leadership of Sturgeon and her husband, raising questions about the transparency and integrity of the party's financial practices.
Authorities are now awaiting guidance on how to proceed, marking a significant moment in the ongoing inquiry.
