Mike Russell, the SNP president and a former minister, admitted he does not think independence can be achieved 'right now'
A senior figure in the SNP has said the party faces its biggest crisis in 50 years amid the police investigation into its finances.
Mr Murrell, who is Nicola Sturgeon’s husband, was released on Wednesday evening without charge pending further investigation. Police searched their home in Glasgow for more than a day, with uniformed officers also searching the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh. He said: “In my 50-year association with the party this is the biggest and most challenging crisis we’ve ever faced, certainly while we’ve been in government. But I have an obligation to this party and the movement for Scottish independence that’s been such a massive part of my life for so long.”
Mr Russell said there would be a wide-ranging review of the SNP’s governance and transparency. This was promised by Mr Yousaf, who was sworn in as First Minister last week.
