Police probe Yes Scotland campaign's 'missing £1.5m' claim

Police in Scotland are investigating claims that £1.5 million in funds raised by Yes Scotland, the pro-independence campaign group, went missing. The allegations were reported by The Sunday Mail and stem from a complaint by David Henry, who previously raised concerns about the Scottish National Party's finances. Yes Scotland Ltd, established by former SNP leader Alex Salmond, has been inactive since the 2014 independence referendum. Its most recent financial records show a zero balance, but earlier reports indicated significant funds that appear unaccounted for. The SNP maintains that Yes Scotland was a distinct entity from the party.
