Former Scottish leader Sturgeon: 'I am innocent'

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday she was innocent of any wrongdoing, after being arrested and questioned by police as part of their probe into the Scottish National Party's finances.

"To find myself in the situation I did today when I am certain I have committed no offence is both a shock and deeply distressing," she said in a statement on Twitter. "I know beyond doubt that I am in fact innocent of any wrongdoing."
