Summary
Nicola Sturgeon’s “no comment” during her arrest over SNP finance probes is defended as standard legal practice, not a cover-up—her lawyer insists it didn’t hinder the investigation, and she later provided a detailed written response. Her ex-husband, former SNP chief Peter Murrell, admitted embezzling £400k, but Sturgeon argues she wasn’t responsible for party accounts and was focused on her role as First Minister. Critics liken her silence to organized crime tactics, but her team rebuts fiercely, calling it mischaracterization and emphasizing the investigation’s thoroughness.
