SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
This is long overdue its own topic; to be fair to the independence cause (and I suppose we have to), independence ≠ the SNP and vice versa, so the hatchet job Mr & Mrs Murrell have done on the SNP doesn’t directly address the question ‘will Scotland leave the UK?’
Having said all of that, I may get this framed:

Only taken nearly 2 years of investigation.

Fraud investigations are notoriously complex. If any of this eventually gets to trial, pity the 15 good persons and true who have to sit on the jury for it.

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
I literally just created this thread so there was a place to discuss the specific issue of Sturgeon and friends getting arrested *without* it getting conflated with the question of Scottish independence, for which we have a well established topic elsewhere in the current affairs section.
*Please* at least try to stick to the topic.

It would have been something momentous had they charged her with anything today. Rotten timing for wee Humza though, all evidence of his big set-piece sit-down with Laura K. has been wiped from the news agenda at a stroke.

Good news for Johnson though. Who’d have thought a former Prime Minister resigning as an MP in disgrace and a former First Minister arrested on the same weekend. I might frame both given how unlikely such a set of circumstances must be.
Would be interesting to know if such a similar trend of events has happened anywhere in the world over a single weekend in equivalent federal structures.

The thought of wee Krankie being clapped in irons is rather satisfying.

Officers had been able to question Ms Sturgeon for a maximum of 12 hours before deciding whether to charge her with a crime or release her while they carry out further inquiries.
A suspect released pending further investigations can be re-arrested at a later date.

When the allegations first arose, the normal reaction would be to ask those likely in the know. From that, various people in the SNP should now know where the money went. Possible that the money wasn't ring-fenced and ended up in general funds. If that is the case, they should own up.

If only she’d eaten a cake, there’s no coming back from that kind of crime.
She’ll probably get away with massive fraud

Boris was never arrested. Just fined for a minor misdemeanour- a trumped up one at that.

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
It’s worth pointing out that you can’t be arrested for questioning unless the police have reasonable suspicion that you may have committed an arrestable offence. Arresting her wasn’t some procedural nicety, it was deliberately more serious than asking someone to assist voluntarily. Don’t be taken in by the spin Nippy’s press release has tried to put on this - all this talk of her voluntarily attending a police station at a pre-agreed time is designed to draw your attention from the legally significant fact that she was put under arrest when she got there.
