Police Scotland investigating report of 'irregularities' in Alba Party finances
The Alba Party reported financial management concerns after a review instigated by former first minister Alex Salmond, prompting an ongoing Police Scotland investigation.
- On May 26, 2025 Police Scotland received a complaint from the Alba Party and is investigating reported irregularities in the party's finances in Scotland.
- Alex Salmond, former leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, instigated a review that raised concerns about party management, and in line with legal duties the party passed these concerns to authorities.
- Internal disputes including the McEleny dismissal preceded tensions as Chris McEleny, former Alba general secretary, was dismissed earlier this year and MSP Ash Regan quit earlier this month.
- An Alba Party spokesperson said `Things have come to light that cause us great concern, and we have reported them to the authorities,` and a Police Scotland spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing, limiting comment.
- The complaint arrived two months after Kenny MacAskill beat Ash Regan for leadership, with MacAskill becoming leader in March after Alex Salmond's death in October last year.
