Opposition parties have commented on Nicola Sturgeon's arrest as part of the investigation into the SNP's finances.
Labour Shadow Scotland Secretary Ian Murray said the arrest was "deeply concerning" while Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said it would have "huge ramifications both for the SNP and the future of Scottish politics."
Sturgeon was arrested on Sunday by Police Scotland. She is currently undergoing questioning from detectives.
A spokesperson for the former First Minister said she voluntarily attended an interview with police.
Murray said: “This is a deeply concerning development and the Police Scotland investigation must be allowed to proceed without interference.
“For too long, a culture of secrecy and cover-up has been allowed to fester at the heart of the SNP.
“The same culture that leads to police tents in front gardens created the deeply dysfunctional government that is currently failing Scots.
“Humza Yousaf must urgently come clean on what he knows - the people of Scotland deserve answers.”
Cole-Hamilton said:
"Obviously we can't comment on a live police investigation and justice must be allowed to take its course.
"It's fair to say that today's events will have huge ramifications both for the SNP and the future of Scottish politics."
