The police are investigating the use of over 600,000 pounds ($750,000) in funding raised by Scottish independence campaigners in 2017 that was supposed to have been ring-fenced, but may have been used for other purposes.
Sturgeon, her husband Peter Murrell, the party's former chief executive, and its former treasurer have all been arrested and released without charge while the investigation continues.
