Police Scotland's Chief Constable Jo Farrell said she had a team of 'very skilled' individuals working on the long-running case involving £600,000 in donations.

Scotland's most senior police officer has said detectives probing SNP party finances will report their findings to prosecutors 'in a matter of weeks'.

Mr Murrell and Ms Sturgeon were both arrested and questioned last year and released without charge as part of the probe, which has been ongoing since July 2021. Earlier this year the SNP's former chief executive Peter Murrell, the husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon , was rearrested and charged in connection with embezzlement of party funds

When asked about the political sensitivities of the investigation in what is set to become an election year, Ms Farrell told Sky News: 'We've investigated allegations, moving on we have very skilled, professional, objective individuals working on that case.'
