SNP in turmoil: chance for the left?
Peter Murrell — the recently resigned CEO of the Scottish National Party (SNP), and husband of the recently resigned SNP leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon — was arrested on 5 April and questioned by police investigating the SNP’s finances. The family home was searched over the course of two days, as were the SNP headquarters in Edinburgh. Police took away boxloads of documents. Police also visited the home of Murrell’s 92-year-old mother, from where they seized a campervan reported to be worth £110,000.
