The former First Minister of Scotland was released after 7 hours of questioning

According to Fars News Agency, the former First Minister of Scotland, who was arrested by the police on Sunday to investigate corruption, was released after 7 hours of questioning.

According to the websiteITVNicola Sturgeon has been released without charge after being arrested in connection with a police investigation into the finances of the Scottish National Party. More research is planned in this field.

Earlier on Sunday, Police Scotland confirmed that the former first minister was in custody and being questioned by detectives.

A 52-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday as a suspect in connection with an investigation into the Scottish National Party’s budget and finances, Police Scotland said. A spokeswoman for Ms Sturgeon said the former National Party leader would voluntarily attend an interview with Police Scotland and she would co-operate with them.

Sturgeon is the third person to be arrested as part of a Police Scotland investigation into claims that more than £600,000 of donations were spent on the party. Earlier, Peter Morrell, Sturgeon’s husband and a former top official of the Scottish party, was arrested and questioned for nearly 12 hours before being released without charge.

Sturgeon has been a member of the Scottish Parliament since 1999 and became the deputy leader of the Scottish National Party in 2004. He succeeded Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland, in November 2014. For many, he has become the face of Scottish independence during his tenure as First Minister. But in reality, it is not clear if and when another referendum will be held
