it was expected after the arrests of colin beattie and peter murrell, that any day, there was a kindumour going round holyrood, that any day now we'll be hearing that a 52—year—old woman will be helping police scotland with inquiries. it has taken a bit longer than expected. nicola sturgeon has released a statement saying that she always intended to cooperate, and has cooperated at all stages with the police, and will continue to do so. she also issued a that neither she nor mr murrell are staying at their home in glasgow. she is assuring that statement to avoid the place being besieged by the media, and the neighbours being disturbed, and the neighbours being disturbed, and she is not staying with relatives either. appealing for a degree of peace with regard to that. but as jamie said there, this is quite a remarkable develop meant. we must bear in mind that the previous two people who were arrested were released without charge. it is entirely possible that the same will happen with regard to miss sturgeon. but it is also possible damage entirely obvious that police are taking this

two weeks later the former party treasurer, colin beattie was also questioned and released without charge now to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. this investigation has been going on sometime quietly but now a very high—profile arrest. an high-profile arrest. an investigation - high—profile arrest. in investigation that has been running for the past two years, mostly in the background but today the most high—profile arrest and what the police have titled operation branch form. mid afternoon came the news that nicola sturgeon, the former first minister of scotland the longest—serving first minister had been arrested by police. this was by arrangement, we are told from a spokesperson from nicola sturgeon that she arranged with police scotland attended an interview where she was arrested and questioned in relation to this ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the snp. so the news broke mid afternoon but we do not know exactly when the arrest took place. but when that arrest happened, in effect a clock starts ticking and the police have 12 hours from that point in wh

"i am certain i have committed no offence," she said, describing the situation as both "a shock and deeply distressing." she thanked her supporters, saying they appreciated she would never do anything to harm either the snp o
