FORMER SNP chief executive Peter Murrell was released without charge on Wednesday night after spending 12 hours in police custody.
The home he shares with his wife and former first minister Nicola Sturgeon remains cordoned off, after both it and the offices of the SNP were raided on Wednesday morning.
Ms Sturgeon, who left the house shortly before the arrival of Police Scotland, was keen to quash innuendo and speculation around the search, stating that she “had no prior knowledge of Police Scotland’s intentions” and that she would “fully co-operate” with any inquiries.
