Searches have also been conducted at Nicola Sturgeon’s residence, as well as at the home of her husband, Peter Murrell, the former CEO of the SNP until mid-March, and at the party headquarters in Edinburgh.

The investigation focuses primarily on the use of £600,000 in donations collected in recent years to fund a new independence referendum that did not materialize due to London’s refusal. The media has also raised questions about a loan given by Nicola Sturgeon to the political party.
