Nicola Sturgeon has spoken out for the first time since her arrest last Sunday, saying "I have done nothing wrong".
The former First Minister made the statement after returning to her Uddingston home on Sunday, June 18.
It comes after the 52-year-old former SNP leader was last week (June 11) arrested in connection with a probe into the Scottish National Party's (SNP) finances.
She was later released without charge pending further investigation.

Sturgeon said: "I can't say very much just now, what I will say is reiterate the statement I issued last Sunday, I'm certain that I have done nothing wrong.
"I intend to be back in Parliament in the early part of the week, I'll make myself available for questions then.
"For now I intend to go home and catch up with some family."
Asked whether she had considered stepping back from the SNP, she said: "I've done nothing wrong and that is the only thing I'm going to assert today."
When asked whether Nicola Sturgeon would have suspended Nicola Sturgeon, she said: "Look I've done nothing wrong, it's for others to comment as they see fit but that's my position."
