The husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in connection with an investigation into Scottish National Party finances.
Peter Murrell, 58, was taken into police custody on Wednesday morning.
Police Scotland said officers were carrying out searches at “a number of addresses as part of the investigation”.
Mr Murrell resigned as the party’s chief executive last month, a post he had held since 1999.
He has been married to Ms Sturgeon since 2010.
Ms Sturgeon stood down as first minister last month and was last week succeeded by Humza Yousaf.
