Police are investigating allegations that £1.5 million raised for the 2014 Yes Scotland pro-independence campaign is unaccounted for. Multiple reports say the claims concern the group formed to run the campaign and that links to the Scottish National Party (SNP) are part of the context for the scrutiny. The investigation follows renewed public calls for a full parliamentary inquiry connected to the wider Peter Murrell scandal, after the “missing funds” allegation resurfaced. According to the coverage, the money is said to have gone missing from the group’s accounts, with figures described as “unaccounted for.” Police have not concluded on whether the funds were actually lost or misused, and the probe is described as ongoing. The reporting also frames the matter as part of continued attention on the financial arrangements surrounding the 2014 independence campaign and efforts to ensure the relevant spending and fundraising records are properly accounted for. The investigations’ next steps and any outcomes are not detailed in the sources.
