Fresh allegation against late former first minister investigated
A non-recent allegation of sexual assault made against Alex Salmond has been received by police.
Salmond was leader of the Alba Party up until he died suddenly aged 69 during a visit to North Macedonia last month.
The politician was first minister of Scotland from 2007-2014 under the Scottish National Party (SNP) government but resigned from the SNP in 2018 after a number of allegations of sexual misconduct came to light.
