Detectives had to wait two weeks for permission to search the Glasgow home belonging to Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell, it has been reported.
Police Scotland asked the Crown Office for approval on March 20 but prosecutors only gave the nod on April 3 and forwarded the request on to a Sheriff.
It meant the search of the couple's home near Baillieston on April 5 took place after the SNP leadership contest had ended with Humza Yousaf declared the winner.
