Nicola Sturgeon maintained she has "done nothing wrong" as she appeared at the Scottish Parliament for the first time since being arrested.
Speaking about the "difficult situation", the former first minister said: "The thing that sustains me right now is the certainty that I have done nothing wrong."
Her comments came after she became the third high-profile SNP member to be arrested by Police Scotland as part of its investigation into what happened to about £600,000 raised by the party for independence campaigning.
