Scottish official declines to disclose identities of police officers investigating SNP financial misconduct.

Scottish Justice Secretary Angela Constance refused to disclose if the government knows the identities of the 11 police officers investigating financial misconduct within the Scottish National Party (SNP). The investigation involves Peter Murrell, the SNP's former chief executive, who was charged with embezzlement, and former party treasurer Colin Beattie, who was arrested but released without charge. Opposition lawmakers have raised transparency concerns, questioning why the government won't confirm its knowledge of the officers' identities. Constance cited her policy of not commenting on live cases.
