“It will be very inappropriate for me to comment on it.”<\/p>\n
He insisted: “The SNP has made clear that it will cooperate fully with a police investigation.<\/p>\n

The SNP deputy leader quickly denied the line of questioning, saying: “I think that the SNP is a well-run organisation! We have transparency around our finances, our accounts are independently audited.<\/p>\n
“They are submitted to the electoral commission and all of these functions of good governance and statute are followed entirely.”<\/p>\n
DON’T MISS The investigation comes as a member of the public is reported to have tipped Scottish police off about alleged fraud within the funding of the SNP back in March.<\/p>\n The move follows the SNP raising more than £660,000 since 2017 specifically to fight a second Scottish independence referendum campaign but spending some of the money in other areas in the absence of another independence vote.<\/p>\n In March, three members of the SNP’s finance and audit committee quit amid complaints about being denied access to the accounts.<\/p>\n Then in May, new SNP treasurer Douglas Chapman MP also made a shock resignation complaining how a lack of transparency within party funding had stopped him from carrying out his “fiduciary duties”.<\/p>\n Police Scotland said: “Anyone who has any information which may assist with this investigation should get in touch.”<\/p>\n
