The Scottish National Party's treasurer was arrested by police on Tuesday as part of an investigation into the finances of the governing pro-independence party that has damaged its image and undermined its new leader.
Police Scotland said a 71-year-old man had been arrested as a suspect in its ongoing inquiry. The party's leader said the arrested man was the SNP treasurer Colin Beattie.
The arrest comes as the SNP, Scotland's dominant political party, faces deepening questions about its governance and finances. Opposition parties said the party was mired in scandal and struggling to govern Scotland. Humza Yousaf, who won the contest last month after pitching himself as the continuity candidate, has seen the first few weeks of his premiership dominated by questions about the party's credibility.
