Nicola Sturgeon’s dad has backed claims the row over indyref2 donations is a plot to destroy the SNP. Robin Sturgeon shared a tweet which insisted the £600,000 currently the subject of a police investigation “isnae missing at all”.
The SNP is in the middle of a full blown crisis over a police probe into what happened to donations raised for a second referendum. Fraud cops last week arrested former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, whose wife is Nicola Sturgeon, but released him without charge.
Police officers also took boxes away from SNP headquarters and seized a £110,000 motorhome parked outside the Dunfermline home of Murrell’s elderly mum. However, some SNP loyalists have tried to dismiss the questions raised about party finances.
