Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s longest serving first minister, resigned earlier this year in a move that confounded many political observers at the time. On Sunday, she was arrested by police investigating allegations of financial misconduct.
Sturgeon, who led the Scottish National party to electoral domination at Holyrood – the home of the Scottish parliament – was questioned by detectives “as a suspect” but was later released without charge, pending further inquiries, after voluntarily going to a police station.
